This things huge - 2.2 x 1.1cm , the biggest canvas Ive ever worked on . I took my time and spent 3 weeks stretching and preparing the surface so its been really nice to work on
first up , the sepia oil sketch to get everything in the right place
next the sky is done , then the first coat on the water
added more detail to the island , mountains , trees on the left , then got stuck into the water
another layer on the water , then on to the sand
more work on the sand , still a long way to go though
changed the waves at the front a little ( one more coat to go ) , finished the trees / island ( hard to see in this picture though ) and started the boat while the sand dries enough to do the next coat on that
here's a detail shot of the first coat on the canoe / boat thing , another coat or two on that then its on to the sand , which is going to take atleast another couple layers plus detail
