More Boats

I thought you'd like to see some paintings of boats to illustrate yesterday's drawing lesson.

I love tug boats, lobster boats, oyster boats and shrimp boats, so it is important that they be drawn correctly.

Another problem with painting boats is that they curve both from bow to stern and from the deck to the water line, thus going into shadows from both directions. Remember to soften the edges of the shadows because they are not cast shadows.

First, a simple rowboat.
