This is the first day
painting the landing in acrylics. I'm using a mahogany panel covered with a synthetic cloth glued on with a polyvinyl acrylic (PVA). For more information on making panels go here. The size of this painting is 22x30. I'm going to enlarge this painting in the studio and finish it on location. |
 Back in the studio the image was transferred to a blank 32x48 1/4" birch panel covered with synthetic cloth canvas and primed with acrylic gesso. See Getting started for more information on making panels. The horizontal bar stick is in place to make the horizon line curve perfectly symmetrical. |
 These were the brushes used to lay in the colors the first day
on the large painting.
|
The second day on the large painting only. It's now ready to be brought up to the next days work on the thumbnail. |
 A 1/2" Langnickel series 3080 "Combo" to 'draw with'. A 1" Langnickel Series 6080 "Nocturne". This one is like a squirrel hair wash blender. A #4 Isaby Special, Series 62277, sable, 1/2" round ferrule flat end. |
Small painting one day on location the large painting is two days in
the studio.

The large painting day 1 on location on a panel that took two days in the studio.
Back in the studio I start working out the waves on a grid draw in
with white chalk.
I'll have to remove the center wave if I'm to have a large first wave
with a splash.
Sometimes I feel like I'm going backwards,
but it's ready to go back on location again. I'll finish this page
after the next session.
For page one on drawing waves, go here.
Day One on location. |
Day three, covered with plastic during a squall. |
This is Tom Booth working on his painting.
That's my van in the background, next to where I'm setup.
