Media: Watercolor and Gouache on paper
Size: 8x10 in
This dilapidated row boat can be found along the shores of Lake Ontario,
it was placed there for decoration. There's also a lighthouse nearby. I
used Phthalo Green for the peeling paint on the boat, and warm grays to
give the impression of sun bleached wood. The shadow of the house
worked out great, it provided a dark green color to contrast with the
far edge of the boat. I used gouache to dry brush some grass textures in
the foreground and to create a few bold brush strokes.
