Crescent Beach

By William House

Crescent Beach in Ecola State Park, Oregon. The beach curves into Chapman Point, and further southward lies Cannon Beach and the iconic Haystack Rock. Mist from the Coastal Mountain Range lets the landscape fade into grays and blues. The artwork captures the rugged beauty of the northern Oregon coast, letting the viewer wrap themselves in serene isolation as the mountains and the sea meet. The sky was modeled separately in Topaz Studio using an original photo. The foreground was sketched and hand-painted in Adobe Fresco using a digital pastel pixel brush. The final artwork was created using stacked transparent layers painted with the individual background and foreground features. (Fine art from ArcheanArt)
