I did this one straight after the previous painting posted. Just moved around the harbour a bit. I am a sucker for sparkle on the water!
The boats were really silhuetted and strong shapes. I moved my body so the compostion of them worked – and then I didn’t have to move them on my painting. I did edit a few out as it was too complex for the size board.
Again painted quickly as after 40 minutes the sparkle was gone. Limited tones 4 main ones. The colours mainly yellow and blue – Ultramarine & Naples Yellow.
Looking for little highlights on the boats as well especially the tops where the sun hits them.
When I get back to my studio I always get the paintings out and line them up on my shelf to decide if they work or not. I’m pleased with these two as a pair – it’s not often they work together.
