Royal National Park, South Coast Painting

As a concept artist for the film industry, I draw a lot of my lighting and mood inspiration from the outdoors. I find painting plein air the perfect complement to my 'indoor' digital film work. It refreshes my eye, mind and soul being out in nature whilst challenging my artistic abilities as I shift gears from inside to outside. The coastal section of the Royal National Park, NSW is utterly spectacular looking north or looking south, as is the example here. This was a day out with a fellow painter where everything went right, the painting seemed to fall off the brush, perhaps it was the fresh ocean air and sea spray that helped!
