Our watercolor lesson at the Ohr O’Keefe Museum. We drew the image on 1 inch graph paper and then traced it to BFK paper. We had a. Regular old fashioned color photo.
The painting is an oil and in the original there’s a woman in a white dress on the left that flash of white is from my phone camera
My version . One of my boats sank but I brought it back with white guoache
This is interesting, Greeta. I think master copies are really valuable... and this was challenging, especially the water. I think you've really got the sparkle and reflections, especially above the boats. You've got the color down, too. All in all, I like this alot, particularly going from oil to watercolor as successfully as you did.
ReplyDeleteYours is more impressionistic than the Impressionist! Water is so hard to paint imo, but you succeeded!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just assumed this was Alan's painting. Sorry about that Greeta. Now I can see the difference between yours and his. You did a great job with all that impressionistic brushwork. I like the water above the boats and reflections below them - how you've expressed it so differently and so well.
