Cornish Fishing Boats

Apologies to @swillinbillyflynn I asked to paint your wonderful fishing boats and I'm afraid this is my best effort!!

I have an actual art lesson on Monday, first since being in the 3rd Year at school in 1972, so I may learn how to hold a paintbrush properly via Zoom.

@swillinbillyflynn Thanks Billy for letting us paint your beautiful photograph. I'm sure others in the gang will do a more accurate rendition, but I did enjoy myself and lost an afternoon getting covered in paint. X You may notice that Dolores failed to make an appearance she was very paintbrush shy!!

Wow! Amazing. Great job. The water is not my favourite part, but the boats and the reflections!!!! You are awesome. The details in the boats and the details in the reflections are so great. I love this. Well done! @30pics4jackiesdiamond

I really like it. The colours give it a Mediterranean feel. Not sure if I can brave this one. @30pics4jackiesdiamond

@30pics4jackiesdiamond This turned out so bright and cheery! The colors are more Caribbean and tropical and give it a different vibe. The looseness of the style give it a nice carefree feel. I like it! What medium did you use? Looks like pastels?

@30pics4jackiesdiamond this is wonderful! You have done an excellent job in getting the shape of those boats and the reflections are terrific.

@grammyn I cheated!! Chalk on the back of a print and then traced around the boats' edges
@theredcamera I used acrylics Ellen, love you think it's loose!!
@wakelys it's taken a few discarded sketches and a couple of days
@swillinbillyflynn I did thank you
@monikozi the sea didn't work out as planned!! I squirted three different colours on my tile, mixed them on the brush to get the three colours. Stupidly I used blue, yellow and green, so have a VERY green sea!! Duhhhh!!!!
@casablanca took a bit of concentration and then I gave up trying to copy Billy's colours!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Clever artist! Not cheating at all!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond well, the colour of the sea is as the artist wants it to be. If you look at Diana's photos, the colors are so awesome.
I am not comfortable with the ripples on top of the base colour. I think they are too many. I'm not sure. They look like done by me :) overworked. I comment, but i suck at rendering water.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond i had a look at the other boat painting you did. There, the water is darker, and you also added highlights in the ripples. That was brilliant.
