Painting a Boat Scene, My Way!: L4

Author: Rod Webb, Contributing Editor

An additional wash is added to the background water, in order to emphasize the darker reflections.

The band next to the bank is painted using a thin wash of cobalt blue.
Also, the far right edge of water is painted with the same cobalt.

The reflection of the boat's bow line is painted first to give some direction and length of reflections as a guide.

Using different strengths of payne's grey, reflections of the hull and superstructure are painted around the masking fluid that is still in place.

The vertical reflections of the boat's masts are carefully painted following the lines of masking fluid.
No straight lines!
