"Ports" - WIP

this is a remake of an old and smaller work done years ago in acrylics - this time in pen and acrylic inks... am doing first with Prussian blue... 20"x16"

"Chords" - 11 - finished

"Chords" - 10

finished - but will try for sharper photo tomorrow...

"Chords" - 9

now for the sky, and refining the sprays... and the pussywillows...

"Chords" - 8

the yellow, I have decided, is too intense, so muted it -

 

"Chords" - 7

a lesson yet to learn - when ye tired, rest... do NOT push on...

 yes, ink got spilt... fortunately was little left in the old bottle of processed yellow... still.... but is savable -

 there is refinement yet to do on the wave droplets. but the water is done... note needed to white parts of the sky as well as a bit of the water to do this, as otherwise the blue would have greened in that area...

 because parts of the railing was yellowed, decided to yellow the whole area of railing and sand, which then can have the tray darkened, and a diluted brown, perhaps umber, to layer over the railing... then can go and speckle in the sand - antelope brown and Indian yellow or yellow ochre...
ps - that is a glare on the background water - is really like the left all across...

"Chords" - 6

now just the background water and the beach are left - and maybe the sky, too...

"Chords" - 5

almost done on the surf waves...

"Chords" - 4

went to my tea lounge and did some work while sipping a couple of chai, then did more when got home -

"Chords" - 3

continuing with the burnt sienna, did the side of the railing... will eventually overlay this with another color but this sets the ring markings...

 

"Chords" - 2

am using burnt sienna for the top of the railing... antelope brown for the tray...
