Description
Sand Harbor is a beautiful beach park on the East shore of Lake Tahoe. I spent 32 years of my life in Lake Tahoe and many happy summers with my kids, family and friends on that beach. Painting this scene brought back those happy memories. I began by sketching in the scene, indicating where the mountain ridge, water line and boulders were going to be. I then started with the sky and background mountains. With landscapes, I want as much info as I can get into the background before I move on to the foreground. I also decided to paint a yellow underpainting for the shallow area of the water. I also painted in the rocks and boulders that would be covered by water later. I choose to glaze in the water over the rocks and sand to give the appearance of transparency. Tahoe is known for it's clear clean waters. I wanted to make sure I portrayed that in my painting.
