My ArtVenture: Watercolor painting “Two Sails”

in #steempress6 years ago

Hello dear Steemians,

Recently I was working a lot with watercolours and I started to see the difference between different brands. When I read a bit about, I found that those I use are not so intense therefore it takes me a while to load my brush with color and it is quickly disappear on paper. I found few other brands of watercolour and I am going to order them, although they are not quite expensive too. But I believe if I want to enjoy watercolour painting I have to get them.

The next thing is topic, I found few interesting subject, many different pictures of sails. After looking I thought I will take a topic two Sails on horizon and reflection in water. It is not a direct painting of the same picture but it is an inspiration by multiple different pictures of sail on this web site.

Love this, @stef1 ! The contrast between the surface of the water, so still and almost like a mirror, against that sky with its currents and cloud movements is very lovely, and more over, I love how both sky and water form such wonderful framing for the two ships in the middle, almost as if they are a pair that's walking/sailing side by side, in peace and happiness.

Very nice painting :D

I like this one. Those sails are two graceful beauties and they are reflected beautifully on the water.

Thank you @scrawly for your nice words, I believe this is like never ending story when it comes to marine scene :)

Wow! You are really good at working with reflections. What a fantastic work, Steffi! Thanks a million for sharing!

I like your watercolor experiment and you did an awesome job @stef1. The reflection on the water is very vivid and natural. I see how you give the artistic touch to your painting, really better than the photography.

Thank you Theia for your nice description and I am glad you like the way how I did this painting. I really appreciate your opinion and always glad to hear from you :)
