The Seaspan Pat Has Reached Home Port ... or ... the Tugboat Painting Is Finished
It was all detail work ... painting the mast, darkening the shadows, indicating the ports and hatches ... I also darkened the hull, and gave it more of a working tug appearance with some dry brushwork.
Here she is ...
Now it's off to play with the paper mache menagerie, and think of what next to paint!
Many thanks for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome!
It turned out beautifully, Kathryn - the effect of the fog is brilliant and I am in awe of how you have accomplished it in water color. And I am bursting to tell you how I love the paper mache boxes! How creative and fun they are! I can't wait to see the finished menagerie!
Dear Kathryn, the painting is full of life and air. It is hard for me to decide what I like more: the great details of the boat or amazing and mysterious fog...Love them all!! Irina
There's annAsian influence in this painting that sets an exotic tone-- the play of highly precise detailed work against the hazy background. Very interesting combination, a step out of your realm. Nice.
This is stunning. What a great job on the mist! Very, very well executed Kathryn. Thank you also for your encouraging words on my blog. I will go and paint another cow now. :) Have a great day!
