Currently working on this. Nowhere near done, enjoying the process very much!
There's an awful lot of detail in it, even now, for instance the tiny 'peaks' of the rooftop of the building to the left, but also the li'l island with building to the right.
And more to come as like I said, nowhere near done!

The mist got too much. It was too greyish at first, or so I thought. Now I regret adding white to it as I'll have to dim it again now.

In any case, happy with it so far! :smile:

Thank you :)

More work done today.
The street is less 'bright' and more work with liner on the cobble stones.
The mist has been corrected, chimney added, the mountain/rock done, people, and of course the doorway and expansion at the harbour. That part isn't finished yet.
Oh yes, and some reflection lines from the li'l island in the water.

Haven't painted in a few days as my neck didn't allow it. Last I did on the 18th was make corrections on the ship.
I'd wanted the light that shines through the windows to be much brighter & clearer and have a stronger glow, so I re-did those for the 3rd or 4th time.
Had to redo the lines above and blow the windows too.
And other minor perspective corrections as well as the railing on top and the lantern.

You can see the differences here:



And a lot more done today! A ton of highlights, details -incl. very small ones- which you likely cannot see in this small size photo :(
First rigging done as well.
It's not finished, but getting close to it now!

Thank you, Julie!!




I've finished it today :D

I'll add 2 close-ups so you can see more detail. There are so many highlights and things everywhere! For instance highlands on the people so they're not just black shapes.

FINISHED PAINTING:




SHIP DETAILS:




HARBOUR DETAILS. Also notice the two anchors in the left bottom corner against the mountain/rock! The barrels near the boat ramp, the mooring posts in the water near the boat ramp etc. etc.

Thank you :)
It is, however, just one painting...
One that I will put up on the wall in my living room. I will move my elephant in Africa to another place...

I've started a new one 2 days ago. I know what I'd like on it, but not certain I have enough space, so I may have to choose.
Although partly drawing inspiration from a movie, this is for the most part entirely intuitively done, so I too have no idea what the end result will look like.
