I have begun a new series, destined for Tidewater Gallery in Swansboro, N.C. I thought it might be interesting to post each step of the process.
Since I am developing a series, I wanted all three paintings to have similar color and theme. My goal is to have local boats moving across an active, and perhaps even rough sea. I decided to paint all the skies first. Then, I selected a couple of recognizable shrimpers from the Swansboro waterfront to incorporate into my paintings… and outlined them. I positioned them onto the paintings to determine placement which is allowing me to visualize how the seas might ebb and flow.
