Painting a Boat Scene, My Way!: L7

Author: Rod Webb, Contributing Editor

The wooden parts were painted using a mixture of burnt umber and touch of alizarin crimson.
A grey mix is used for the bow's edge.

Ultramarine and payne's grey are used for the bottom of the hull, and burnt umber is added (while wet) at the rear section to dirty the waterline.

The masking fluid is removed and the rope is painted in.

The bollards and inner rails are detailed.
The windows are painted with a brown/crimson mix and a hint of curtains showing.

A mixture of ultramarine/cobalt blue used for the window's protective sheeting.
It is darkened in places with payne's grey dropped in while wet.

On the right edge and side, some paint is lifted with blotter paper to give the impression of creases in cloth.

You could leave the sheet and paint in the windows, but I thought the blue sheet gave more of a contrast in the scene.
