My first attempt at painting a narrow boat. Given that I want to live on the canal at some point, I thought I should practice my boats! And water… Reflections are fun but challenging.

This is an A5 sized painting from my sketchbook. I took time to draw a few different composition sketches and really plan the painting out. This gave me a great opportunity to sketch the boat a few times before I had to transfer the outline to my sketch pad.
