Description
Ho'okipa is Maui's popular surfing beach. Plenty of skilled suffers to watch and see some sea turtles resting on the beach. You might even get lucky to see an endangered monk seal taking a nap. We went there to photograph subject mater for paintings and was treated to a stunningly beautiful sunset. I was told later by locals that the colors were created by the vog. Vog is volcano pollution caused by the active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Most of the surfers had exited the water as the sun went down and the beach was pretty empty. Creating this painting for the Walter Foster book was very exciting and challenging. I used a limited palette to help keep the color drama exciting.To create this painting I started with an underpainting of cad red light. For more on how I painted it you can buy the book.
