Painting Process Navy Beach in Montauk Long Island

Navy Beach Montauk Painting by Borbay

When hockey teammate and friend Peter Niemi invited yours truly to join him in Montauk, I set the land-speed record for the word ‘yes’.

So, fellow artist Paul Zepeda and yours true hit the rails and arrived in Montauk on Tuesday afternoon, in search of a great painting location. Without pause, Peter recommended Navy Beach… jackpot.

After a quick chat with the team, Director of Operations Martin graciously granted us permission to set-up and get our paint on.

If you like to have it now, please feel free to view the entire painting process in 1:00 — set to the amazing sounds of Pete Pidgeon and Arcoda. Now, on to the recap…

Had to lay the picture on the ground for an accurate color reading… the brighter tones on the wood are now popping.

One last snap before signing… added bright blue to punch-up the windows, and complement the sky (pun).

In the absence of the sun, the clouds quickly become a kaleidoscope of colors.

For dinner, we took a trip into town for a large bacon and pepperoni pizza, well done of course, and we stumbled upon the Memory Hotel. Up next? My Montauk Beach Bungalow painting.

Finally, a big thank you to the Niemi’s, Navy Beach, Martin Cabrera and Leyla Marchetto
