I am fascinated by beach scenes. Love the waves, reflections on the sand, sea gulls and their dynamic nature. watercolour on 180 gsm paper 11 x 8 inch. #watercolours #watercolors #aquarelle #aquarela #watercolorartist #artbymra #artbymranand #waterscape #beach https://artbymra.blogspot.com/2021/01/safe-surfing.html

Trans down mode of AFCS requires the helicopter to fly down over sea automatically to pick up survivors. Its amazing how beautifully this is executed. I was impressed with this flight mode and imagined this scene with a few reference pics.

Flowers, especially a bouquet of vibrants coloured ones, is a painters delight.  Loved this rustic arrangement which i came across on the web.  Challenge was to preserve the vivid contrasting colours and yet make it look elegant while not using white :-).
