Amble fishing boats

Amble Fishing Boats

Painted sketches in response to the fishing boats at Amble. 
The boats are in dry storage whilst being worked on, raised up on blocks and trailers. Revealing their forms and volume.
All the textures and weathering to be seen against the forms and colours.
I have enjoyed working on textured surface, keeping as much of the underpainting as possible as I build up the layers.

The square cutaway has over time become the shape it needs to be through repetition, erosion and corrosion.
