Joaquin Sorolla painted Beached Boats in 1915 at roughly the same size (100x120cm ~36"x48") that I have painted it. This painting on a Masonite board began with an enamel wash and an underpainting in enamel. The final painting is done in oil.
The light and shadow of the canvas sails, the vista across the ocean to the distant squalls, and the flowing impressionism of the sand and waves in the surf all drew me to recreate this powerful painting.
