Drifting Workshop24

Oil on Canvas 14" X 20".
I wanted to apply what I had learned with the grays on the Workshop 24 painting in a really controlled setting. I designed this to do that. Lessons for me: warm through cool grays, atmospheric perspective, limited palette, dynamic brushwork, careful work on lost and found edges.

Comment by Michael Chomse on August 18, 2013 at 19:46: Manneherrin, thanks for the encouraging comment. I was worried about the red boat, that it was too obvious, and thus contrived.

Comment by Manneherrin on August 18, 2013 at 18:39: Your mysterious and organic style is refreshing. The atmosphere is calming. Color unity is perfect and that red boat is perfectly positioned in the composition. I really like it.

I think this painting can be part of this workshop. You should tag it Workshop24!

Comment by Marilynne Wasielewski on August 18, 2013 at 12:31: This one has a wonderful atmospheric quality, Michael. Love the way the sea and sky blend together. The rocks have a tangible weight and texture to them. The red boat is a nice balance to the neutral palette.
