Red Sky Sailing

 

*****

I think I am learning a little more, or should I say am I applying the idea of 'composition' here to keep the eye moving in the painting. The scale of my boat is better in this one that the previous one and I like the shape of it better. I also tried to make my bird look more like a bird. I am still not really crazy about the clouds...partly because I have the scale wrong.

I am gaining a better understanding of 'layering'. I like the color choices in this, but the water got a 'muddy'. 

I like the birds. I also like the boat, but I need to work on scale. 

I did not sketch this before painting. I will be sure to sketch my next attempt.

MMy second painting. I have a lot of work to do when it comes to clouds (and a few other things). 

I plan to keep practicing. The good thing is is the subject is easily identifiable and currently hanging in a place of honor in the repainted bathroom. From a photograph taken in May 2010.

I have a long way to go when it comes to trees.
