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 Steinunn Einarsdottir on June 7, 2014 at 8:54: Thank you so much Shapi for your trouble. I will look at this when I am not so tired. I have been golfing and painting today so my energy level is pretty low.

Have a lovely weekend and happy Pentecost!

Comment by Steinunn Einarsdottir on June 6, 2014 at 21:24: Thank your both Saghi ad Karlo for your good advice, I will come back to this one again later or perhaps paint it again.

Shagi, I do have an Apple and Photoshop but am not sure how to operate it in this way...

Comment by Karlo Bonacic on June 6, 2014 at 10:18: I agree with Saghi, some horizontal strokes - lines on see would help, also the colors of nearby sea and far away are quite equal (normally it tend to be more blu - grey farther away - i like to use Ultramarin + Yell Ochre, and maybe some red to grey it more... and variation ( but better to stick with same colors which you already used here..).. But yes .. we dont really have time to repair every day.. so maybe better just do new one..
