Continuing with my marine theme this one will be quite different to "Sea Of Light" in that I return to things melancholy and beautiful. Hopefully a very moody piece based on a desaturated blue and orange complementary, it has a shipwrecked sailing ship at the base of cliffs leading up to a melancholy fortress... all ye abandon hope here...
As with all these marine paintings they are partly an exercise in learning how to paint ocean water better, when happy with the results from what I have learnt this will inform the next gallery paintings in my "Point Of Light " series.
This is the preliminary pass on the tonal underpainting which I will finish tomorrow before a desaturated blue wash goes over it. As usual I have used a mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and brush.
Oil on linen 22" x 16".
