I was recently looking at some pictures I have taken over the years of Morro Rock in Morro Bay, California and after reading a couple of books about Morro Bay I decided it was time to do a painting of the rock and bay. Here is a sneak peek at how it’s going so far. There is still lots to do with the foreground under the rock and a little bit more to do with the rock itself.
I’m using paints with matte/flat and satin finishes. I have been using paint with matte/flat finish for years now and Behr has discontinued their sample container of said paint. They are now only producing sample with satin finish. I was rather disappointed when I found out but now that I have been working with it I think I’m starting to like it more and more.
Morro Rock at Morro Bay, 12 x 9 inches, Behr paints with matte/flat and satin finishes. I am using stencils to create the rock.
The finished painting.
