Part II of Workshop



I have just completed part two of a wonderful workshop with Bill McCoy. Our subject this time was simplier but harder? hmm.
We were painting one building on a marsh but included in the photo was a buoy, which was quite large and one basic color. The decision was to make the building or the buoy the focus of the painting and how to make the buoy interesting.
Bill did a great job with this painting and I am including a before sketch and a nearly complete final painting by Bill.
