Simply lying on the warm sand gets boring though, so myself and Mr. Price take up our sketchbooks. He draws me from under an umbrella while I , stupidly, don't notice time passing , out in the sun with my sketchbook. Result, a prettily coloured pen, ink and watercolour of sunbathers and beach paraphenalia .... and an ugly red sunburn on my arms and back.
Sand is a pale yellow-ochre-with-a-touch-of-ultramarine and the shadows are less dilute with more of the blue. That's Breton sand of course!

I like them - and all free models.
Why, thank you! and, strangely enough, they don't seem to notice your drawing them. In a more confined space it's almost immediate... an initial discomfort and then the subject searches for whoever's staring at them- I recommend sideways observation, or even sunglasses.
