I like this for the way you have patterned the whole picture. It feels so satisfactory. Those craft are very unstable except in expert hands and by patterning them into a row, y ou have given them a stability of their own. It is pleasing to the eye.

Thank you so much you have good insight Much appreciated. This one strangely went missing from my studio the original. I had a print and redid it.. it is slightly different but has proved popular in Portugal as bbq place mats. I used to print copies and laminate them myself. 5? each. Cheap art but paid the studio rent. Lol

Wow thank you very much. Your critique very welcome . I see already some good stuff in the comp. already! The pens are a challenge but I love them. Last year I got a set of something similar and used them on a load of miniatures. The sharpies are a better quality but very hard to get finer details or if I make a smudge or mistake I end up changing the whole. Rarely scrap stuff. In the blue sakes the white wayer is mostly untouched card. Then I found a white sharpie on Amazon... no stopping me now. ps they are easy to carry around when you country hop like me.
-
you got that right!! wink wink. again i mean it.. i think the voters will be impressed with it. (thumbs up)
-
oh btw your one up on me.. i heard about the white sharpie but haven't bought one yet.. that would make my life easier than mapping out the white areas.. wink

I have a query ... do you out a finish on your completed works for example varnish? If you don't do you think they might run. It's just that normally ... esoecially with my miniatures I like a protection. I often take A4 prints so the originals do get handled a lot.
-
dont put anything on it.. you will discover it will run if you spray anything like that it will run. see its permanent ink. in 79 i did 36x30" poster of kiss rock group for my nephew. in 2015 i saw it and was amazed how it still looks like the day i gave it to him. it was confirmation to me that the work will last a long time. now if you put it out in sunlight like other mediums it will fade. luckily he didn't do that over the decades. so spray anything on it. its not water color.. wink

I like the movement you created in this piece. The clouds move as does the water and sail boats. The variety of blues with the white creates a very appealing composition.

Comment from Charlie Newman
Your drawing brought back some memories of sailing in the Bahamas and Chris Cross's song "Sailing". "Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility...:
Your drawing has sense of calm seas, tranquility and at the same time a sense of motion. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you. This was inspired by the boat people and scene I often see and am with on my special island in the Algarve. Many friends target the Caribbean and we are a stop off. Some lived there in their younger years. 2012 we set off in our trimaran but got holed on Starboard outrigger by a sleeping whale off the coast of Africa... ha ... another story...

nice use of colors and tones
