Robinson boat

This was a good learning painting. It got my thinking cooking like it should, particularly about relationships. Light to dark of objects and backgrounds. It reminded me of the "Windmill" principle.(See James Guerney's blog). As usual, though, my theoretical knowledge outdistances my practical knowledge, but it's exciting to know the possiblity exists that my paintings could this outstanding concept intuitively.

You clearly painted the color/value shapes as you saw them. I think a lot of people got tricked into painting what they know as a "boat shape" and many boats look very stiff!
