I really didn't feel like painting today, but I needed to put in some art time. I thought I would just play with mixing colors. My intent was to try to mix/create a turquoise color. Once I did that, I got highly motivated to mix some other colors that reminded me of the Caribbean. Then I grabbed a small 6x8 panel and started to paint. Here's the result:

| Beach Scene (6x8 panel/Lukas Berlin WMO) |
I had a vision in my head. I picked up my brushes and applied the paint to the blank canvas panel. I could get use to this way of painting.
I used Lukas Berlin WMO for this beach scene: Titanium White, Flesh Color, Ultramarine Deep, Primary Blue, and Permanent Green Light. To create the turquoise color, I mixed the Primary Blue and Permanent Green Light. Then I added some white to get the different shades. For the sky, I used Ultramarine Deep and white. For the beach I used Flesh Color and white.
I mounted the canvas panel to an old cardboard I had from a used up canvas paper pad. I rolled a few pieces of blue painter's tape and applied it to the cardboard. I enjoy reusing stuff where I can.
For the next few days, I will let this painting dry. Then I will start adding some details.
