Oh yes, a day at the beach, now that's my kind of day. I think my favorite time though *has* to be sunset when when the wind starts to die down, the sky lights up fiery red, the air cools, and pelicans are hungrily dive-bombing into the water with the hopes of nabbing that fish. So perfect!
Sometimes I'm lucky enough from this vantage point to see a boat sailing on by. The boat, from my view at the shore, is a silhouette. I colored the boat in with my black Copic to get that effect and sponged on some ink to make the sun a fiery red. I don't have any of the great new cobalt paper by by A Muse yet (check out the A Muse blog for a peek), but I used two of my other favorite blues to finish off the scene.
I think this would be a great day at the beach! :)
