Tied Up 3 - A Work in Progress

Although there was a Severe Thunderstorm Warning in effect for the area, all we received were a few rumbles of thunder and a strong wind.

I thought I would do a little more work in this painting that I had started a few years ago (see posts on 11 September 2014 and 16 December 2016).















I started in the background with a mixture of raw sienna French ultramarine blue, for a soft green to indicate the distant trees. I mixed in a little burnt sienna to the green and put in the posts for the pier.

Using a various mixtures of burnt sienna and raw sienna I painted the sand onto the beach.

I will post this painting again once the pier and the water have been completed.

Tied Up 3

While driving home along River Road I came across this scene of a boat tied up to a pier waiting to go out on the Otonabee River.

I stopped and did this little drawing of the boat gently bobbing on the water.














I can already see that this drawing at a later date can easily be turned into a painting.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork. I hope you will return often.
