Last day
Posted: October 20, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized 23 CommentsThe big yellow crane has arrived at the Pointe Claire Yacht club, and that means the sailboats come out of the water for the season tomorrow. I thought I’d spend an hour or so drawing them before they disappear. It’s a warm and fairly calm day, and as I painted I witnessed one boat after another go out for one last perfect sail on the lake. Can’t say I blame them. Sketched in a Handbook Journal, 8″ x 8″.

yes, your paintings are a joy.
i am curious what blues did you use for this painting?
LikeLike
Ah, thanks Holly. I used some Cerulean and I think some Indigo too for this. The blues are a little different than what I usually do.

Another lovely painting with boats and water. You do these so well. One question-the lines -pen or a brush?
LikeLike
Judy, the lines for this one are in pen. I used my Platinum Carbon pen first and added colour later.

Thanks. I have that pen-bought it after one of your classes, I think. But I never got used to it. Think I will now try it.

Don’t be melancholy, you’ll have a beautiful picture to give you happy thoughts until that crane puts those sailboats right back where they belong 🙂

It is always sad to see the boats come out of the water. Up here they shrink wrap them in white plastic that is so lacking in character. You captured a beautiful look to the day!
