Making Way- sailboat

I started with a tinted canvas. This one is 7x5

I do a quick sketch in transparent red oxide.

I block in the sky color using white ultramarine blue and a touch of veridian green.

I paint the ocean color. Painting the dark water with phthalo blue.

I start painting the clouds. I use a thin lavendar mix for the underside. The clouds recede and become less intense.

I add the sail color and highlights of the water.

I put a few figures in the sailboat.

I work a little more on the clouds and the waves.

I work on the foreground.

I add a small amount of yellow to the clouds and the water.
