Boat Channel II


Acrylic, 20x16 Masonite
I started another effort at the Boat Channel - larger work on gessoed Masonite.

I want to track and document my progress. The first image shows the undercoat of ultramarine purple and permanent rose. The basic forms - the deepest values - have been sketched in using burnt umber.

The sky was added using ultramarine blue, phthalo blue red shade and white. I like the way the undercoat shows through, and I think I will leave that alone. It seems to add "sparkle" and interest to the sky.
