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.

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.
