It wasn't an easy decision to paint those sailing boats. But I had to remind myself that they were the reason I had taken the photo that inspired this painting. It was May 2022. And a cold day, with very grey skies. When painting this, I knew that I had to make my clouds greyer than usual! But I still wanted some warmth. I used three colours: Raw Sienna Light, Alvaro's Caliente Grey and Alvaro's Fresco Grey. Plus some blue that was in my palette to make the see a little bluer than the sky.
And in case you're wondering, these boats had black sails, which is what made them interesting to me.
Gorgeous...
