Hi Steemians, I was away a bit on the East Coast of NZ with my family. We went camping, and spent a week exploring the Gisborne area.
Its a beautiful place with lot of inspiring epic scenes to paint.
I loved the pure untouched beaches, the lagoon where my darlings picked some shellfish while I painted a small painting.
This white cliff is the landmark of the area what can be seen from Gisborne beaches near the town centre.
We travelled a bit to have a closer look, and found a pretty spot called Te Wherowhero Lagoon. It was low tide, and it was a pretty epic scene, was asking to be painted 😊
I made some quick step by step process photos of the painting.
After a while it turned more cloudy, and the cliff was in shade. I was waiting to capture the light when it reflects from the cliff. It was only lasting for a few minutes and I took some photos to use for reference for the next painting. It was such a peaceful untouched piece of New Zealand, I wish to spend more time painting that landscape.
Here is the finished painting:
After I signed the painting we got ready to leave the sun started to set, and shine trough the clouds highlighting the white cliffs. My jaw dropped and I could not take enough photos of this light effect.
Im hoping to paint a large canvas about this experience.
I guess I could paint this cliff over and over as the light changes, it has so many different colours and moods...

I hope now I can catch up with the previous portrait painting I started before.
Happy Steeming! 😊
