Every week I am trying to focus on a subject. I guess for the next week it will be boats. My drawing skills are not the best, and so focusing on how something is constructed will help. What made me think about this is a very simple way of drawing and painting boats by an excellent watercolor YouTuber named Shibasaki. Below is his demo on boats.
What makes this video so valuable is he shows you that a boat is a series of rectangles with a few curves. Don’t believe me? Check it out. I’ve learned a lot from Shibasaki-san!
My palette here was limited to zinc white, ultramarine blue, a touch of gamboge, burnt sienna, and some left over colors on the palette from the sunset coast I painted the other day – a bit of teal and some red.
One thing I have always loved are sail boats and tug boats. Those are on the agenda. Stay tuned . . .
Excellent 🌺

Thank you very much! I will say I was pleased, too. I could see what I have learned over the past year. As well, I was surprised the all the details I saw and could capture fairly simply. A year ago, I wouldn’t have seen them, or if I did, I would have overdone them.
