"Above Big Sur" 

A step by step from study to studio painting

 

Step5

 

Finally close to being finished!  Now it's detail time, last

minute adjustments to color and some design elements.

In this step I'm adding details in the grasses and distant 

cliffs.  Also,  adding another rock near the cliff

and changing the foam direction near the bottom of the

painting.  I'm adding just enough detail  for realism,  

letting the viewer add the rest!  

Tomorrow a final look at the finished painting!
