Original Creation

Sunrise palms

Voy Kay 21 Apr 2020

Today is Tuesday so this means, no Bob Ross recreations for the rest of the week since the missus needs the office (with my computer) then (working from home) and needs peace and solitude during office hours, what happen to be also my painting hours! So I move to the dinner table then, large enough (2,20m x 1,15m) for all the painting I desire to do.
Today, I wanted to create some sea sceneries and since I had several, I chose two with about similar colouring. So this was a real fun simultaneous exercise, one easel on the left, one on the right, and switching like in an amateur tennis game! I LOVED IT!!
Canvas used was a budget 9"x12", prepared with liquid white. Easiest to do where the palmtrees, a lttle harder was the sky and the sea but mostly because of the various colouring needed. Hope you will enjoy this, please read some articles from our community and have fun!!

Excellent job Voy. I like subtle things happening here. I like how easily you hand was painting the trees. Color selection is beautiful. Details on the palm leaves and grass blades are very nice. Especially those birds on the purple and few near the sun. Sun texture is amazing.

Thank you Sunnylady! This is only my second sunrise so far but I dare to say, a second succesful one! I intend to do more of these in the future!
The palms went so smoothly, I guess it took only five per tree to create and finish them. Once you get the hang of the fan brush for those palm leaves, all goes plane sailing!
Till next one!
