Sketches for D-Day Commemoration 2014

I am continuing my research for a series of works to be complete in time for next years
D-Day Anniversary. I am still experimenting with treatments and colour values to achieve the final mood and texture. A quick preliminary sketch appears below.

I have also included a watercolour study done in 2011 of a visit to "Dog Green" sector of Omaha.

This sector was depicted in the movie "Saving Private Ryan". Notably missing in the film was the 10 foot seawall and road. The high bluff behind the beach is much further away and quite a bit higher too.
