        This has been a tough project. I posted earlier for C&C and made many adjustments after getting great feedback.

        It was perhaps too ambitious for my experience and skill level, but I learned a lot. The rigging isn’t great – a sailor would spot all the flaws in a moment – but the impression of rigging seems to work overall.

        I will stare at it for a few days and likely tweak it – so if you see anything you’d suggest I work on, please don’t hesitate to say.

            I’m not knowledgeable about ships so can’t comment on the structure etc!

            I do like the way you kept the colouring and the rigging (especially) subtle and not eye-catching. I like the light and shade on the canvas.

            I think the sea needs a bit more work – colours have lost their watery translucency a bit and waves a a bit flat and lacking in depth – but generally I think this is a very creditable piece – well done!

            Cheers, Maureen

                Maureen – thank you!

                How would you add depth and translucency? More contrast of lights and darks?

                        Your work on the ship’s structure is superb and I like the sky. I agree with Maureen, a bit more movement of the water.
                        Well done.
