Sand color

[BeaSue]

Painters,

I'd love to know what color mix you find most effective when painting sand.

  very much.

I have used either a very light wash of yellow ochre, or raw sienna.

...... as well as a light wash of orange.

 The shore I am painting is a very light beige color. I did a very light wash of raw umber. I lightened some areas with a touch of yellow ochre and a wee bit of orange, and will darken others with just a touch of ultramarine blue.

Thank you...especially you, Dennis (hope you are healing well).

I just had a look at my crashing waves..... Dennis is absolutely right... there's some very light cad. org. in there!
