I had a dream and when woke up I needed to paint this. So I took a bit of time to put my dream landscape onto the paper. I need to get some photo references of similar landscapes in reality. If someone here have seen such a place can you tell me where it is and I will search for reference photos to work on the color scheme from them.
This is charcoal study of masses on 18*26 cm paper.
Thank you Nivek! Indeed so very close. Good references for lights and shadows!
Will make a lovely painting!
I found this URL https://www.shutterstock.com/search/limestone-arch which might give you some impressions. But I guess a lot of the pics are from the already by Nivek mentioned Durdle Door.
Maybe search for Green bridge of Wales as well.
Etretat in France?
Thank you Tom! Green bridge gives more interesting geological setting that can add some dynamics into the picture. Not sure how to paint such limestone though.
Durdle door has more photos at different times of the day and year.
I am sure I will be able to get something out of it.
@joha - thanks a lot! Beautiful place! Tops of those Normandie cliffs are something that I am looking for!

Looks a bit like Durdle door at Lulworth cove, Dorset UK. Google it, there's plenty of photos! I've been there a couple of years ago, beautiful place.
