Exploring with field studies

Trying not to paint perfectly finished paintings outdoors but 'Exploring' a little bit by trying new colors, new ways of painting etc. Its good not to be attached to a painting so you can attempt stuff without feeling like you'll ruin it!

This is where I painted today. It was a picture perfect day though a bit windy so the boats were twirling constantly and once I decided on which boat I was painting, I had to patiently wait for it to come back to the right position!

Heres the study of the boat from this morning.

8x10 

I did a few more boat studies in the last two weeks here they are.

6x8

 9x12

So no finished paintings, but I got good practice in painting what i 'see'!
