The cliffs of Étretat from the beach

During a family day out in Étretat, I did a sketch and then painted this watercolour at home, using my photo as a reference. I didn’t manage to capture the pebbles on the beach… I find it very difficult to suggest and paint spontaneously!

Well, love the painting. And it’s not about pebbles on the beach of course. The star of the show is the rock with a stunning hole.
If you like to do pebbles, the only one come in my mind is Joe Dowden. But a lot of spattering and masking fluid is needed.
It would be so detailed, your rock would be out of tune.
