Making Final Adjustments to Ocean Wave Oil Painting
After looking at my oil painting of an ocean wave seascape I decided to make a few value and color changes. The foreground wave skimming along the sand appeared too dark so I lightened that area. I added a greenish color to the light area of the crashing wave. This is closer to the actually color of the wave itself.
These are all steps I take when finishing up a painting. Taking a few days or weeks to view the painting and deciding if I can make improvements.
