The color we associate as a sandy beach has often been elusive for me. Not that there is one color in particular, to lean on. However, I rely on the combination of raw sienna and cobalt blue to do the job. Of course, if you want a cooler tone, I add a wash of ultramarine blue.
It is one of those things learned by experience and acquired judgment. However, there is much variation along a beach with changing light and shadows that the colors I believe need to reflect this.
I am writing about this topic today because it seems like late winter before the growth emerges yet while water is often stirred up that this tan-brown color is most evident.
This may seem like a dull topic to write about. However, in my travels observing and mixing colors that I see out in nature, getting a combination right is important and an exciting process.
