Tall Ship

For Paint Party Friday, I've done a Tall Ship in acrylic on cardstock. I was inspired by a photo I saw in the newspaper.  I've actually made this into a card, so I can give it away. (8.5" x 5.5")

Great job with this tall ship. You are so good at finding the essential lines in an object and turning them into a great composition.

Christine, I just know that the card will be well received. The simple clean lines make it a winner. About water soluble oils, I know it has linseed oil and another kind mixed with the pigments. To tell the truth, I added a tad of sap green watercolor paint to the Thalo green oil paint to get the under coat green I used. Who knows how permanent it is??? It may flake off tomorrow. LOL. Faye

I am so very late to the party, but I really like your ship - the two-tone water especially caught my eye. A very pleasing piece.
