This picture, 8 x 10 study pre-varnish and pre-signed, had too much sail in it, so with a little manipulative brush strokes I managed to balance it out better.
I depend on my immediate family for their opinion on such maneuvers. "What do you think of this one?" I ask.
They are trained after all these years to say the truth. If they do not give a truthful answer, then there is no use in asking.
Therefore this one is moving from dark toward light,or what some call
highlights. The previous is an example of initial color blocking. Wow, red sail? In Asian countries this is a sacred color, found in temples, and I guess on their sailing vessels. I wanted to express that little tidbit in this study.
"So, do you like it?" I think the improvements are good this time and it softens the scene.
