A Day at the Beach No.2
Here's another piece I created on Corel Painter 18.
The Inspiration For This
This is continuing on the theme of the beach and the ocean using oil brushes.
What I'm trying to do is invoke a sense of the ocean through colours and textures whilst keeping it as minimal as possible.
Alternative Version
I also experimented with creating a landmass in the distance which I have included below.
Personally I think it looks better without it:
The rocky island (which was meant to resemble volcanic peaks) just makes it look too cartoony in my opinion
It detracts from the simplicity and minimalism of what was meant to be a study in texture and colour rather than detail.
Perhaps you think differently - let me know.
Also (as I usually say) feel free to use it in your own posts if you can find a use for it.
The Original - A Day at the Beach:
In case you missed it this is how the original "A Day at the Beach no. 1" looked:
Looks good

Both look nice. But without looks better ;). The mountains don't fit in that style though. Keep it up. Really like watching these :)

Yes I think it is a clash of style. The mountains were done after I finished the rest and it just doesn't work.

All of your work is always absolutely amazing but unequivocally I think this is my favourite. It looks so beautiful that I just want it framed on my wall.
This redesign of it looks way better than the original one. I guess this one may be better because you have a wider dynamic of colours with a light and airy blue contrasted with a deeper darker indigo.
I seriously can't express how much I love the look at it and it is amazing to see how with a minimal amount of textures you can make something so detailed and intricate.
Great Job @thecryptofiend on making this masterpiece! :)

the original painting was not as defined, and had a misty ethereal quality to it. The darker hues in the water help define the boundary between sea and sky, but the same evocative sense of haunting is there, reminiscent of the hollow echo of a sea shell.
I have noticed that cartoon-like element in digital paintings other steemians have posted but have never seen it in yours -- but I do agree that less is more, and in this case, the island had to go simply because it drew the eye away from the tension between sea and sky. Lovely work.

It is a good digital painting @thecryptofiend putting those mountain peaks gave it more depth.
Now you can compound your painting by putting more landscapes and other items to make it far more better.

Do it. You can also try out the latest one for free for 30 days and if you like it you can get the new one at a discount (I think it is about half price still not cheap but worth it if you like it).

Every single piece of yours seems to progress more and more every time you create it . This one is truly a masterpiece since it looks like you can stare at it all day .
What I love about this , is it's detail. It reminds me of last years to Dubai that I took where I spent time at the beaches . Standing in the stand in your art work , looking at the water with a beautiful sky and background , wow I just love it .
The colors , mixture , everything is perfectly in its place for the views to gaze into. Keep up the good work as always

So you use Corel?:) Never was able to deal with this program, my fav is PS, Adobe Illustrator if I need vector.
I really love how your artwork looks, especially with the mountains. Seems so simple, but perfect at the same time. Calm deep water, may be from some deep north...

The three jobs are beautiful, there is a slight divergence between the one and the three, I really like the color matching you have selected, now, I do not know if my love for the motañas are betrayed me, but I think the version two That contain the mountains makes them look better.
Thank you very much dear friend @thecryptofiend for sharing your art with us

Lovely, and I agree with you that it's a more cohesive piece without the island. I really like your Beach series so far! And I think "Pseudo Abstract Minimalist Digital" is as a descriptive as it gets haha.

I disagree about the volcanic peaks... I like them! I'm certainly no expert, but they give the painting perspective. Some of the others I found a little confusing.

Really nicely done! Very relaxing.
Definitely better without the landmass, although I think a landmass could work but perhaps if it were less focused, so less, as you say, cartoony? (not an artist, just my 2c!)

I like the simplicity of it as well. I can't tell you the reason (who can really) why, but I like the addition of a little extra. The volcano peaks in the center background were a bit much though.
