Day 3 - Stóri Örn (Big Falcon)

Again I went to Eidi and selected the right hand sight view.
The big rock is called Stóri Örn and stands by itself in the sea.
I took over an hour to paint and had a bit of a problem with it,
I should have had a smaller brush for the rock and softer or more bluish colors but I used the same large brush for the whole painting. One could say it being a challenge to put all the information down in such a short time. Again I painted in the car as the wind was really blowing.

Comment by Ana Murza on June 5, 2014 at 14:06: It's a good painting, I like the rocks an the sky is fabulous. I would though, change the brush strokes in order to represent the water. As they are now it kind of get confused especially with the pier texture.

Comment by Karlo Bonacic on June 5, 2014 at 8:59: Yes I feel the same with my work ! But as i understood we can work more then 1 hour (but minimum around 1 hour), so you do not need to feel presure, Even so I find this 3 days paintings looked better before I "finished" them. but sometimes it is really great to add some strokes with knife or brush which are missing.. I feel also my concentration is not enough .. but this is great way to improve it ...

Comment by Steinunn Einarsdottir on June 5, 2014 at 8:49: Thank you so much for your comment Karlo, I was getting too tired in the end when I was working on the sea and an hour had already passed.

This was a big day for me, first golf and after that out to paint!

Comment by Karlo Bonacic on June 5, 2014 at 8:44: Congratulation Steinunn ! Beautifull skay and rocks, It would be interesting to try more colors and values in the sea.
