My Art-Venture: Watercolour painting “Boats at haven”

in #steempress6 years ago

Hello dear Steemians,

Experiments, experiments... my weekend was full of new way of application of watercolour painting. My last painting of lighthouse became too dark, therefore I decided to start really with light colours and to create a background colour from beginning on when the whole paper is still wet, because it was difficult to create waves last time. After that I left everything to dry for about couple of hours and went to cook. The rest of boats and details I have done later in the evening, this time I really liked the result, you maybe also will be able to see the difference.

Every single work is a lot of planning and organizing, starting from the topic, sketch and of course colours. As always my first critic I receive from my husband, usually our opinions match but I need a confirmation and this time my hubby liked the final result too!!!

So incredible and beautiful, all those details, the water, so real, so palpable.

Very nice, like the marine environment in soft colors. This painting must be one of my favorites. Well done @Stef1.

Hi Ian, thank you for your feedback, it is also my favorite topic and I believe there are many different way of interpretation of it. I am glad you like this one, to tell the truth it is my favorite work too :)

Thank you very much for another beautiful landscape painting, Steffi. Gorgeous work on the water reflections!

Thank you @trinkowski, I really appreciate your feedback and I am pleased that you like it too :)

It is a very beautifully-done masterpiece again @stef1
I like the lines, shadows, silhouettes of the boats, it all goes well with one another :D

Thank you @cryptopie for your nice words and appreciation :)

I like it very much, @stef1 ! Though maybe because you had purposely set out to make this one light (due to the previous one being dark), it might be a bit too light? But it is so wonderful and soft and yet the boats and its poles are so well defined and I love how delicate this painting is, to be honest <3

I really like it <3

Hi Spider, thank you for stopping by and for your description. it is quite difficult to find the golden middle in watercolor, you are right the surrounding could tolerate a bit darker tones, but in this painting I just did not want to spoil it. So for next time may try :)

Thank you Veronica for nice words!. You are right living on a coast we see many different beautiful scenes and I love to capture them in my work
