Living near to a working harbour means there is always some inspiration for painting...
...which usually involves a boat or two. I apologise for my lack of knowledge about them...I've said it before and will say it again, but to me there is a Pointy end and a Blunt end! never mind, I get the occasional sketch out of them...
If any of you would like to use the top photograph of the harbour for a sketch or painting then please go ahead and use it.
That is a really pretty water colour sketch. Have a terrific Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Thanks very much Molly:)
DeleteSuch a delightful painting, it has charm and you are clever:)
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Sue :)
DeleteI, too, live surrounded by boats and I think they are so difficult to draw. Love your post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris :)
DeleteIt 's wonderful! Fanciful.. and magical.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary:)
DeleteThis is lovely Ann...considering how little you know about boats, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine :)
DeleteLovely sketch. You got the pointy end right. :)) Lovely harbor too. We came from SO CAL a Beach area that had a wonderful Harbor there. Sure miss it sometimes. But only sometimes. :)
ReplyDeleteGuess this brought back some good memories :)
DeletePointy end and blunt end……………that works. LOL Great sketch! (Who lives in the house on the hill? Must be magnificent views!)
ReplyDeleteHi Robin, the house is infant a former Chapel and very small. Saying that apparently years ago a family had lived in it. Think I will do a post about it....had intended to do that ages ago...this has given me the prompt, cheers :)
DeleteI love watercolor when used like this. The reflection in that soft greeny shade just turns me on!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. I am envious you live so close to a thousand paintings waiting to be painted
Thanks Julie. I enjoy these little watercolours, although the strange thing is where I exhibit and sell my paintings I actually only do canvases! Perhaps I should try watercolours too!
DeleteYou may not know the right words, but you can still paint boats very well LOL , this one is very lovely. Tried to comment earlier, but the comment didn't want to go through, hope this time it will .
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, the comment got through :). And I appreciate your time in sending it.
DeleteOh I just LOVE your boat sketch! I am so tempted to paint boats with their lines and curves, but the water intimidates me. Thank you for the offer of using your picture... I may just do that! Oh for courage... :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, glad you like this sketch. Hope you give water a go. Have lots of 'play' at it first before committing to a painting. :)
DeleteWhat a Fab sketch of a boat so few lines but you have captured everything. How do you do that ?
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul. I limit my time for a sketch, that way I automatically put in only the important bits, it stops me getting lost in too much detail.
DeleteLovely little sketch!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda :)
