Mde it to day 8 of the 30 day challenge but it's getting harder to find enough time in the day
Still sticking with the water theme, I've chosen to paint Fisherman's Warf from a photo I took last year. Seems like there are stages of painting for me. At first I had to learn the techniques in Oil painting which are almost reverse from what you do with watercolor which I have painted with my whole life. I focused more on objects, like fruits, bowls, etc until I felt comfortable with them. Now I'm trying to really express a feeling. The morning sunrise, a stormy sunset, a night view of the marina, and today I've tried to expres this clarity and beauty of the Monterey water.
Love it.....pastel on the smooth gessobord??
