For the first tutorial of the new year, I have chosen this simple but pleasing composition of a weathered old boat resting on a patch of rough ground, with just a glimpse of the sea and distant hills setting the scene behind it.
Whilst I have simplified the boat a touch, it’s still quite busy, particularly the interior, which gives us the opportunity to enjoy getting stuck into some detail.
This in turn contrasts with the simple rendering of the background, and loose treatment of the grasses and rough terrain of the foreground.
A really enjoyable little scene to kick-start our painting journey of 2025.
Happy Painting,
Geoff.
