This piece was done from part of a photo taken earlier this year. I have wanted to paint boats for quite some time but had yet to muster up the courage to do so, at least on this scale. I still have quite a bit to learn about painting boats and what not. The negative spaces are difficult as are the guide wires and supports. I am pleased with this first attempt and I look forward to doing more of these, especially in a larger format...
I like it. I only have recreational boats to paint here, nothing with quite as much character as a shrimp boat. The sail boats are pretty though. You would love it here during Boat Week. All of the BIG racers are in for the sprint to Mackinac Island.
ReplyDeletea shrimp boat does have some character, only to be matched by the character behind the wheel... Boat week sounds awesome, all those colorful sail, love sailboats!
