Painting a Boat Scene, My Way!: L5

Author: Rod Webb, Contributing Editor

All reflections are now finished.

First, make sure the paper is thoroughly dry, leave overnight preferrably.
Using a weak mixture of payne's grey and raw sienna(blue/grey), a wash is applied to the whole water area. This will soften the edges and give a grey tone to the unpainted areas.

To apply this wash, use a very soft large brush, so the previous washes will not be disturbed.

The superstructure was painted next, with paynes grey and raw umber. Fine aerials and lines (ropes) were painted with a rigger brush.
Shading is added to radar dome.

The top rigging contrasts well with the light sienna sky!

The buoy is painted with Alizarin Crimson/Light red, shaded on the left side and white paper showing on right for highlight.
