Carole Elliott Artist

Find out how Carole

painted this

Carole started by blocking in base

colours using a roller to get rid of

the white canvas.

These colours are often changed

during the painting process.

"Perfect Day"

Step One

Carole blocked in the dark areas of

the underwater rocks. 

She then started work on the top

water and waves.

Step Two

Carole continued working on the top

water and waves, extending the

white water down further.

Step Three

Carole painted lighter highlights on

the top water and waves.

She then decided to change the

colour of the water in the bottom

section and worked on the rocks.

Step Four

Oops! Carole got carried away

painting and forget to take the photos!

She painted highlights on the middle

and foreground areas, completed

the foreground rocks and then painted

the final highlights

Of course it wasn't finished until it was

signed and sealed!

Steps Five, Six &

Seven

Now it's a diptych !
