The ridges in the paint create a thick, physical texture that mimics the look of individual stems of wheat or sea grass blowing along a shoreline. Subtle value changes in the tan and brown colors define the depth of the ground, giving it the appearance of a sandy beach meeting the water. The principle of variety is visible through the different marks made by cardboard strips, suggesting the organic movement of waves or wind-swept sand. This technique adds a rhythmic movement to the landscape that successfully captures the light and airy atmosphere of a coastal environment.
