Painting Boats

A group of us are going up to Gloucester Harbor 

at the end of the month to paint 

so I thought I'd experiment a little with boats today. 

Ready To Go

Boats are a difficult subject to paint,

because you have to get the shapes absolutely correct. 

This was my initial "lay in".

Unfortunately, in my zest for experimentation, 

I went back in to to "fix" this and worked it to death.

It's a wiper. 

I hate when that happens. 

Every painting experience is worth it.  

NOTE: 

My fabulous friend and artist, Page Railsback 

paints boats better than anyone!
