Beach Bums...
The weather's hot. Summers in Toronto, Canada are unpredictable, but this year's been pretty fine so far. Seems like a good time to post a few watercolours of beach scenes. The thing is, we haven't actually been down to our beach to paint this year, so we'll have to make do with older views.

Hello Arna and John!Beautifull sketches!I can almost ear the sound of water!Thanks for your words on my Green Devil!I like it also!Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't!!!I'm going to take a few days to go to the beach.I'm tired.I spent too much time in front of PC learning how to use Corel.Now I can't look at my computer anymore!!! I must get some wind on my face, wet my feet and smell the sea...you know!
Wow! Were these done on location? They're gorgeous. I haven't gotten the courage to work wet-in-wet yet... these are beautiful.
mad skills with the watercolor. Damn...those are feckin' beautiful.
Wow these are nice.
Those watercolours are absolutely beautiful!!! How big are they?
Peaceful paintings and I really really really like your banner... it reminds me of some vinyl covers I have like Joan Baez and such.
These are beautiful!! WOW ! WOW!!
very nice watercolors.i like it.
Man you guys are so talented...
I always wished I could paint! No patience...and too lazy! I like picking up a pencil, drawing, putting said pencil down. No fuss, no muss! Anyhow, these are fantastic!!!!
Nice seeing you at sushi!
These are lovely.
Love these watercolors!!! They are so happy!
Belinha!Thanks! It's always involving learning new software. I love it, but time flies then before you knowe it you are a ghost of your former self. I hope that you have big fun at the beach and come back restored.
Emma, Yes, these are all location sketches. Of course you just gotta jump in with both feet and get wet. Who cares if they don't always work out, your stuff is so good, we're sure you will pick up the technique fast.
Geenpool, thanks! Love your silly silly (I mean that in a good way)characters...
Ryan, Much thanks to the fellow who draws well-fed skeleton pirates.
Stef! Hallooo and thank you for the super kind compliment. Such an honour coming from you. These paintings are approx 7 by 9 inches, or 9 by 12 inches, all done on watercolour blocks, so they're easy to carry around and use on location.
Jamie, Thanks for the link back to us. You do such amazing work. The art on our current banner was actually done around 1969. I(Arna)was very into Joan Baez then... I don't remember her record covers but I'm sure they were an influence.
Alina, Sweet of you to say!! We really love your recent buffalo for illustration Friday.
Vikrant. Amazing photos on your new blog. Just great. We'll visit again soon.
Daniel, Hiya! Umm... (Blush)gee. Garsh. What's up?
Mark, Hi again. Nice to run into you last night. I still have a sushi after glow... Okay, so could just pretend the brush is a pencil, pick it up, dunk it in the paint then goof around... hey, I wanna see you paint something. Paint Jugle. And...you call yourself lazy??! I don't think so. This from the guy directing an animation series right now. Yeah right, anyone knows directors are the laziest people in animation.
Dominic, best regards, we liked blurking around your site earlier today...lots to see, great illustration. We'll go back soon!
~Cheers all!

lovely watercolours!
Every one of these watercolor pieces are so beautiful. The fourth one has a gorgeous choice of colors. And the fifth one is my favorite.
Wow! Those watercolours are great.
Can I borrow,mmm... maybe 2% of your talent? You won't miss it will you? I promise to return it.
Absolutely GORGEOUS watercolours guys!
Top one by J & bottom one by A are my faves. Just super transparencies & layering of colour. The different textures are captured exquisitely.
Great shadows under the leaves. Working on my trees. My greens are pretty acid or olive drab at the moment.
Beautiful! I'm doing some landscape watercolors tomorrow.
The use of color in these is spectacular. Wow.
