Since the sailboats were already masked out I wouldn't have to wait for the friskit to dry.Working back and forth on both paintings I washed in the sky using Antwerp blue, leaving a few lighter areas for wispy clouds.
By the time I finished the sky on the second painting the first one was dry and ready for the next step.
Sailboat 5
Adding a little French ultramarine blue to the sky colour I put in the lightest part of the water.
I added a small amount of burnt sienna to the blue and put in the darker waves.I did the same thing to the second painting and then into the foreground waves I used a grey of burnt sienna and French ultramarine blue to darken them a little more on both pieces.
Next I lightly drew in the horizon line on both pieces.
Sailboat 5
I added a little more burnt sienna to the grey wave colour and with vertical strokes painted in the distant shore.
I will post both of these paintings at a later date once I have removed the friskit and start to paint the sailboats.
