I am playing around with more of the graphic background, like I did with The Fisherman.
I have another session done on it but I thought it would be fun to share each progress shot.
The water is a challenge. I've found photos of water all over the internet that I'm using as a reference...which is helpful, since I can't paint in front of the ocean here during the Rhode Island winters.
As the painting develops, I am still not certain what the color scheme is....which makes it hard to progress. But as each layer goes on, I'll find a color I like for each element and go with it. I've never been one to obsess over the "right" colors...just ones that feel natural to me.
As a reminder, this is the photo I'm working from:

I love the contrast between the detailed subject matter and the playfulness of the water. I like to mix real and very detailed images with distored/abstract so that appeals to me in your work. You make an otherwise average image come to life! Thank you.
