WS44, oil on canvas

Hi Silke, you’ve done a good job with this painting. Nice subtle use of greys in the rocks and you’ve made a strong glowing effect, which is the main goal of this workshop. The lines of the beach and water look a bit odd on the left as they turn upwards together; although I do like the idea of bringing the eye back around into the scene by angling up rather than down. Some of the horizontal cracks in the foreground cliff are lining up cracks in the other cliff—good to avoid that sort of thing because it confuses things a little. The spotlight on the beach and water looks great. Good work!
