I really like the expansive perspective you gave to this scene and how well it all is rendered to achieve it. Beautifully colorful and immensely uplifting in these times to see everyone at play in and around the water. A very well done and enjoyable work of art. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


Nicely composed painting, I am guessing it's a children's summer camp, yes?
The colors are well balanced throughout. The scene is mostly, realistic.
The flow of the composition is visually appealing.
Nice entry into the contest.

Have a good day, Cheers.
Lucien

This is so vibrant and fun. Definitely worthy of its prompt! Summertime, oozes.
I like the playfulness of all the different characters enjoying the water. The texture of the water and waves looks great! And the detail down to the gulls flying overhead.
All the best for the competition. :)

Keep creating,
Ann, OpenroadFootprint

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine composition offers us an enjoyable reminder of carefree beach days before the virus! Like the various blue tones that you have created. Well painted and good luck!

There is nothing more enjoyable than watching children play and have fun. That is what sold this painting for me. I love the deep blue of the ocean water too. You can really see that beautiful blue further out in the ocean if you are on a cruise ship. I love the attention to detail, like the boy with his board and the toys on the beach. Really nicely done.

Nicely done seascape! Your technique is spot on...very well done. I can feel and hear the crash of the waves. The activity on the beach is so realistic. Good luck in the contest!

This is a painting which makes the viewer smile. It is evident that the kids have lots of fun among the waves and at their games. The viewer has fun to explore the many interesting activities. Your paid excellent attention to detail. I appreciate the realism of proportions and perspective. The colors are appealing and realistic. The panorama format is sufficient. The painting is well composed and framed.

Hey there Janicep!
Really nice oil painting you have created that showcases summer nicely. The body language of each child is shown well. The colors and details have been well rendered and the shading and brush work are great! Here are a couple suggestions; maybe tone down the dark blue water a little and straighten up the horizon line, it is a little curved. This is really nice painting to view and I wish you all the luck in the contest, thanks for sharing!

    Thanks very much for your kind review and suggestions. The things you mentioned only became apparent to me in the photo after I took it and it was a little too late to change it. But I agree with you! 😀
