Old Man on a Boat – Painting – 15 august 2021
Experimenting painting back in 2021, I forgot this peculiar portrait I made back then. I am still very pleased with it though as I feel like it is such a calming picture.
The Painting
Quick analysis of the Old Man on a Boat
As you can see, there are so many colours due to the fact that I was trying to understand the lights, warm/cold zones of the photograph. But the result shows, I believe, quite well the warm and steady ambiance given by the picture.
NB: I took a photograph as a reference on unsplash and forgot to note it: if you find it please comment below the name of its author π. Thanks in advance.
Also, painting with acrylic provides a greatfreedom of colour picking: acrylic dries quickly so it is easier to make popping effect using opposite, strong shades. Indeed, when using oil painting, I am more cautious because I don’t want the colours to get mixed up, since it takes so long to dry.
Thanks!
