Je me mets à la gouache et ça m'enchante parce mon syndrome de l'imposteur m'avait dit que je serais nulle. par contre c'était sombre ça piquait les yeux un peu. Bref pour m'entraîner je reproduis des scènes de film et aujourd'hui c'était When Evil lurks de Demián Rugna (2023) #whenevillurks #gouachepainting #painting #horrormovie #HorrorFam #gouacheart #Gouachepaint #gouacheonpaper

I need your help!

A few weeks ago I finished my second painting featuring Alaskan flowers. But, doesn't it feel like there should be a third one? Maybe even a fourth one?

This is where I need your help! Do you have a suggestion for an Alaskan flower that would complement these two, Lupine and Fireweed? If so, comment below. 👇

And here we are, almost complete. The cargo crate has a bit more texture, the cargo netting has been added, as well as the post and chains on the deck. I've also added a layer of rust on the ship to emphasize the poor condition of this vessel. I've also added more texture to the water between the ship and the foreground dock and tweaked the colors of the shadows closer to the ship.

We're getting closer to the end. Here, I've added more detail on the ship. The masts, the superstructure itself railings etc. all complete the look of this old cargo ship.
Then, I've also started working on the foreground: the dock, the cargo crate being lowered down.

In this session, I went back to the clouds in the background, while adding more details on the buildings around the docks. Shadows, support posts etc. may seem insignificant but they add a lot to the overall painting, I think.

Of course, a harbor needs buildings, whether it's Customs, warehouses etc. Here, I've added some buildings on the docks near the ship itself.

With the background done, it is time for the cargo ship itself. A rusty old clunker, my goal with the ship is to give it a sense of age, a ship tired from its many journeys across the oceans.
I've also started adding the water between the ship and the foreground dock, although there's more to do on that front coming up.

The textures of the mountains came next. Depending on how high a mountain is (and depending on location) you will often find trees growing to a certain point. That's part of what I wanted to accomplish in this session: add some sense of foliage on the slopes of the mountains.

In this second progress photo, you'll see that I've added the blue sky and started filling in the mountains, leaving the clouds for a little later. I've found that quite often, I tend to work from the furthest away in my painting, finishing what's closest to me last. Not always true, of course...

Today, I'd like to take you through the journey of one of my latest paintings. It's a harbor scene with mountains in the background and a cargo container being unloaded in the foreground. This is a great example of how I being many of my paintings. A pencil outline, sometimes freehanded, other times traced with carbon paper.

Back to working on the hat. This was a very time consuming section of this painting, but I do think it worked out in the end. More detail work to come.

Here I've added more detail on the hood and jacket, such as seams, wrinkles and such. More texture work, I suppose. Also started working on the eyes.

What do you think so far?
