Atlantic Afternoon- painting as it was in progress.

watercolor sketch

This painting was so big, I did a detailed drawing on the linen as a guide to keep me on track. 

Yardstick for scale.

Also note the day passing behind the painting. Entire block in done in around 7 hours. Big brushes, lots of paint... Then weeks of tweaking!

Here are some progress pics I took while doing one of the large paintings earlier this Spring. From sketch to block-in.
