Brighton Pier

Painting piers is every painter's dream. It offers challenges like the sea, sky, people, buildings and ships. Perspective also plays an important part of it. Am I ready for it? I Just gave it a go. My first wash of the sky was lighter than I wanted but I went over it a second time. It was risky but paid off. The beach area was actually shingles but I simplified it by making it sandy. I enjoyed doing this one. Hope you do the same looking at it.

    The Brighton painting is an outstanding piece. This reminds me of the Scheveningen Beach near The Hague, The Netherlands. This painting brings back my nostalgic memories during our stay in Netherlands. Fantastic job Mr.Murugesan. Keep it up.
