Waikiki In Watercolor #1 and #2

                                                               5" x 7" Watercolor Study #1


Earlier this week two "firsts" happened !  For the first time in my life I painted en pleine aire , a French term for simply painting outdoors whatever you happened to be focused on.   The second "first" was .... it was the first time I had painted in watercolors in a very long time.    This is the first painting from that endeavor, and I had a grand time with it.   I found a nice shady spot in Waikiki looking towards the Waianae mountains and had a go at it.   I enjoyed it so much that I went back this Saturday morning (yesterday) and composed the painting below.

   
                                                          5" x 7" Watercolor Study #2


Both of these studies could use a little more touch up work; especially the horizon line on Study #2, but wanted to share what I have been up to lately.    I just began both of these paintings by laying in thin washes of color without sketching the scene first in pencil.    Seascapes come natural to paint for me which is why I chose these two for my first try at watercolor in ages.   As time goes on and I paint more pleine aire  studies,  I will chose more elaborate beach scenes or whatever strikes my fancy.   May try painting at the Honolulu Zoo if they will allow me to do that; will have to check into it.   There are many possibilities for subject matter in Waikiki and all over the island, for that matter.

Please contact me if interested in purchasing these paintings or for commissioning any subject matter you would like..    You may also search for other paintings here by going to the "Search This Blog" gadget in the upper right-hand corner of this page and typing in your choice of subject matter, such as seascapes, etc.  

Thank you for stopping by !

"Sunrise at Waikiki" 4"x6" Acrylic

This painting is a little more impressionistic than some of my other work.  I took several photographs

that particular morning, but this was my favorite scene.   It is looking towards the famous Diamondhead extinct volcano, which is not visible in this painting, obviously.  There is a nice park near here and also the Honolulu Zoo, which is a great place for me to take reference photos of birds and animals as well as flowers.  I don't visit Waikiki very often, mostly because I prefer more secluded, rustic beaches without all the hotels everywhere.    But I do enjoy my visits to Waikiki, and it is a great place to take a daily walk along the paved walkway beside the beach--not to mention a safe beach to go swimming.   Waikiki is a must see for anyone visiting Honolulu and I hope you enjoy viewing this painting and in my own artistic way I suppose one could say I "took you" there as you view this scene.

This painting is on canvas mounted on museum quality Raymar Art panel.   Many of the miniature paintings I post on this blog are on these panels, but some are on stretched canvas or gesso board.  All quality materials and paint.   

This painting is priced at $125, including shipping if within the USA.   Outside of the USA, there will be a small charge for shipping; whatever the Post Office charges for Priority Mail to your particular country.

If you are interested in purchasing this painting, or have any questions about my work or commissions,  please contact me at reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com
