Seaside - first dip by Sharon Van Der Veen

This is really sweet Sharon, I like the shading on the figures and his pants are a treat.

Lovely feeling to this Sharon and like Carole, love his pants!

Yes great result Sharon

A really lovely study, so well drawn Sharon.

Such a beautiful watercolour Sharon! Gorgeous subject too.

Great painting Sharon absolute mastery over the medium well done indeed.The shorts are superbly painted.

Love his shorts Sharon, a great painting.

You've captured a special moment Sharon.

Great study as has already been said.

As always, your comments are greatly appreciated - thanks to all. It was the contrast between the two figures which attracted me to the scene, although I realize now that in my rendering the shorts have taken centre stage ! Must remember to stick to my centre of interest in future (although I must admit he did have a nice figure, perhaps I got distracted !)

That's a perfect seaside scene - lovely work (and the chaps swim shorts are lovely - where did he get them from?)

Wonderfull,a very interesting way of using watercolour

You've done some nice figure work here Sharon.

Beautifully done, Sharon. A lovely moment, sensitively captured. I love the pants too!

A really charming painting Sharon.

Thanks Thea, David, Frank, Seok and Christine for taking a look and for your encouraging comments. I think I'll market those trunks, they seem to be popular !

Captures a lovely moment between father and child...lovely!
