Day 24 - Marina Reflection

"Marina Reflection"

A little study based on some pictures I took in Cape Charles, Virginia at the marina.  I loved the reflections and was finally ready to try to paint some boats!  These would work well as larger pieces, as the small detail is hard to capture in this size.

Painted on Sabretooth light blue sanded pastel paper with no underpainting.  I didn't really like this surface for such a detailed piece in this size.  It works better for simple pieces like "Sunshine" seen here.

Stay tuned, and thank you for reading!
