waiting for the tide to turn by summerfield

waiting for the tide to turn

'turn' is today's prompt for the world watercolour month.

i considered a car turning or person turning around but they were too tedious for me to paint much less draw. i tell you, if i could paint or draw like my siblings, i'd be earning money off it. in any case, i also considered a painting of the earth turning, even more tedious. in writing, we are taught to write what we know. i could apply that sentiment to painting -- paint what you know, and i might not be the best at painting seascape (at least in watercolour) but i sure can render it, albeit my boat looks suspiciously like a peanut shell that got soaked in white paint. the sand patterns of course is difficult to render but know that i did my best.

used Art-n-Fly 24 water colors for sky, sea and sand; Artist's Loft white gouache for wave; Princeton round brush #2, Princeton round brush #6; Royal & Langnickel blending brush #1/2"; Art-n-Fly colored fine line pens brown and blue, on 6"x9" water color paper; used wet-on-wet technique.
A beautiful tranquil scene

I really like your boat. It doesn’t look like a peanut shell at all to me and that sky is absolutely amazing.
