About The Painting

Irish Coast is a oil pastel artwork of a beautiful landscape somewhere off an Ireland coastline. Featuring a wave crashing against two standing rocks, finally kissing a pebbled beach. The sky is mostly clear except a few faint clouds, bright and cool feeling. As you can almost feel the nice cool wind blown against your face, to balance out the warmth of the sun as it hits you and the rolling green cliffs standing against the sea.

Inspiration

I started this piece when it was still cold and just wanted to draw something more warmer looking to help me get out of winter blues.

Artwork Process

Painted with oil pastels. I started this project quite a long time ago. Drawing out the shape of it at first and then it sat on a shelf for many months. Just now getting around to finishing it.

Here is a visual overview of the process:
