Continued with my London Barge painting at art this morning
managed to get more paint on me than the canvas but quite
pleased with how much I got done, just the rigging to do now
which I am not looking forward to as very fine lines needed, plenty
of advice from my fellow artists but I will probably practice at home.
For the sails I used Terracotta, Burnt Umber, Bottom of the boat was Paynes grey
mixed with a touch of Burnt umber and raw sienna, the lighthouse was a last minute
addition to cover a slight flaw in the canvas.
I remember a hint from Ronnie when I was showing her one of my boats. She said pencil is very good for rigging, not so harsh as pen and a lot more steady than a rigger brush. Your barge is looking lovely. x
