This is more of a ‘study’ than a finished painting, which is why I used acrylics. I haven’t painted water, seascapes before.
Here’s what I take from it:
(1) It gives me a good starting position for the next seascape, I have learnt the basics of the technique.
(2)I need a flatter surface than cotton canvas which is too coarse for the finer detail. A flat board with a fine linen canvas glued to it and three coats of Gesso would take the detail in oils
Having recently been on the water, I can “feel” the action and strength of this particular stretch of water. Awesome.
