For
my latest painting I revisited an excursion by boat through some of the
channels along the passage between Vancouver Island and the west coast of
British Columbia.
I
started with a line drawing of the boat we were on, the MV David B, and put the misty, forested mountains which drop down
to the deep sea as a background for the painting.
After
I masked out the areas I wanted to preserve from washes of color, I floated in
some rainbow pigments and a sky blue.
I
added some loose shapes for the dark mountains and the first wash for the sea water.
Over
the earlier washes I added more details to the mountains and sea.
I decided to call it “Navigating the Northwest.”
This
11x14 inch painting and several others are available for purchase on my Etsy site, Watercolors by Leenie.

Fun to see the different stages the end result is excellent.
Watching your paintings come together is fascinating to me. I couldn't do it, but it's fun to watch the process, and to see the beautiful end result. The northwest is for sure a great subject for your paintings!
Another beautiful painting!!
SKILLS! you are a ninja of water color!
Very well done!

I'm not much of a water-lover, but I do like your vessel.
