Livin' the Life

acrylic on board, 60 x 80 cm. I fancy a trip round the bay and then an evening meal in one of those little restaurants on the port.. ..as the lights come on and spill across the water.
Another pea green sea! - acrylic phlato green is pretty hi-powered!

Comment by Jon Main on February 23, 2015 at 20:45: Really appreciate the effort you make on my (and everyone's) behalf - Michael - yuo're always so pertinant and spot-on

Comment by Michael J. Severin on February 23, 2015 at 16:25: Very nice Jon. You show great drawing skills. I really enjoy this color scheme!!! Be careful of 2 identical mass sizes ...the buildings on the left and right ..equal masses. Also, be on guard for things that line up ..the backs of your boats, for instance. Lastly, unify the painting by infusing some of those reds into the green water. Well, not lastly ....watch out for identical shapes ..your clouds and mountains.

Comment by Jon Main on February 20, 2015 at 5:59: Well, guys, looking forward to seeing the aerial works and then... ... to maybe staggering on to the next workshop ;( LOL

Comment by Sharon Casavant on February 20, 2015 at 3:51: Next workshop....

Comment by Jon Main on February 19, 2015 at 5:21: Arh, silly of me - Ian's drone of course :) !

Comment by Sharon Casavant on February 19, 2015 at 3:42: sure, by getting in the chopper and painting in the air or photographing and paint from the photo. You can get the perspective of objects below and add in color to your liking if it is just all gray and white (as it is here, too)! Any view from tower, an angle view, not just straight down of course. Would be different!

Comment by Jon Main on February 18, 2015 at 19:46: Hi Sharon - that's intriguing! - what do you mean? - a view from the top of the tower?! Please explain and you'll maybe give me the impetus to do yet another one (I'm short of subject matter here in teh grey winter!)!

Comment by Sharon Casavant on February 18, 2015 at 6:22: That would be a great painting from up above!

Comment by Jon Main on February 15, 2015 at 4:09: Wow, it's getting real hi-tech!

Comment by Jon Main on February 14, 2015 at 10:49: Sharon - good thinking - nifty idea!

Ian -Yeah, I know ;( - I do usually (well, often) think of it, sometimes it's really hard to avoid - I mean it does fall naturally there (eye level!) - well just have to be sure to paint looking down or up. So, the first composition/design question is, am I a submarine or a helicopter :D ?
