A bit of an homage to all those galleons on the high seas paintings from the Golden Age of Illustration like NC Wyeth etc etc
This one will actually be more about the sky but that is not apparent at this stage as I am leaving this to dry before I finish the tonal underpainting with the sky tomorrow morning. I want it to look like it's crashing through huge waves with perhaps no crew as such but more like a conscious boat prowling the sea with probably malevolent tendencies...
This is the first part of the tonal underpainting using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a brush and rag.
Oil on linen 22" x 16".
