work in progress

I normally paint fast. Oil paint with a palette knife, just painting what I feel at that moment.

Right now, I’m trying to calm my mind, focus on a scene that I want to emulate by an artist I recently discovered called Ivan Aivazovsky

I’m working slowly -over two days so far which is a massive change for me.

We will see how it turns out!

Here it is as of now.

day two

What I like about his work is the transparency of the sea, so that’s what I’m looking for.
