Thanks Arty.

Thanks for the comment Ironpawn

Hi Bart... Funny you should say that... I'd been looking & looking and finally softened wave 2 & 4 on the right side, then you posted! We agree. The change is very minor, it kinda lowers and softens those waves a tiny bit. In the original block in, I misjudged the wave sequence a bit and had...

Thanks Terri, glad you like it and appreciate the feedback. There are parts I feel could be better... And I would live to put wavelets in but I have to settle for where it's at. Overall I am happy given the size. Thanks again

Hi Heather Lynelle, thanks, much appreciated

Hi Wayne, thanks for the complement. If you feel it, I'm happy!

Hi Triduana and Jo. Thanks so much for the encouragement. Also others who have liked etc. This work has been a while coming but I am ok with it. There are passages I'm not as happy with but ... The play of light and shadow between sun, cloud and foreground has been a struggle but works better...

The vase is exquisite and the softness if the petals so right ... Really nice work.

Hi Bart. The gouache is super & fun.

Nice one Wayne, beautiful colours and depth

Hi folks. Well, it's pretty close to done apart from a few small fiddles. The photo is not quite right but it's iffy light today. I am probably not going to add a boat/yacht, it would have been very distant/small, basically a white dot, but as others have pointed out, there is another story...

Hi John. Good idea. I saw the coreboard in the city and may try that. For now I padded the stretchers. The canvas suitably gessoed actually worked, not as smooth or toothy but holds a few layers well. It's definitely a thought for the odd acrylic.

Thanks for the comments Terri. I agree about boat. This is the biggest pastel I've tried, it's coming together ok. Thanks again.

Hi Donna. Yes, I pushed a sheet of think bord behind the stretchers, that helped. But there are small linear imperfections in the gesso probably from it's application. The bored helps and I can work the lines. Other texture in the gesso is there but now it's kinda balanced. Thanks for the boat...

Hi folks. Its been a while but have had lots on. I am working on this "request". It's a large seascape, 1mt X 70cm on a cheap canvas. I chose canvas for the size that was asked for as I cannot get good paper of the size. The canvas is coated with a gesso/talc mixture for an even surface that...

Super late, been busy. The sketch is great. The gouache works. looks like you had a great time. I agree that you should add some fluid to the news... Get that Bart bright going.

Thanks Sanlynn, thanks, not sure, it's from a photo out the car window somewhere on the highway to Zagreb

Hi Bongo. Thanks for the complements
