Digital photo taken in Acadia
Study done in oil, 8 x 10
Since I was committing to a large canvas I knew I needed to do a small study to determine composition and color choices. I had to simplify a fairly busy harbor full of boats down to what I thought was a nice minimum. I knew the seaweed area in the foreground would be difficult as it was extremely busy with various rocks and multi-colored seaweed.
