Hi folks. Its been a while but have had lots on. I am working on this "request". It's a large seascape, 1mt X 70cm on a cheap canvas.
I chose canvas for the size that was asked for as I cannot get good paper of the size. The canvas is coated with a gesso/talc mixture for an even surface that "mostly" worked. I am struggling with the faint outlines of the centre supporting bars ..
Anyway, mostly Rembrandt's with a few sennelier.
It is very much still being worked on, foreground, waves sky etc all being actively worked on. I think I'm 3/4 done. But...... Boat/yacht or no boat? I keep remembering the anecdote if Turner putting a ref dot on a colleagues painting at an exhibition to demonstrate a highlight and engagement. It became a bouy.
Suggestions are welcome... The photo is not quite right but close enough.
