A Beach Painting

I have been working on a large oil for a client who wanted a beach painting. I started with a charcoal drawing just to get the shapes down. I didn't need much detail because it would all be painted over any way.

You can see where I decided early on that I wanted the shapes of the beach umbrellas to be different. and I took some turpintine and erased them.

After I had kind of an Idea as to where I was going with the images. I put in some vaule.

Here is just the beginning. I still have some things to work out before I add any color to the painting. I will post more tomorrow.
