My latest YouTube video is based on a photo very kindly sent me by one of my Patreon Members. Thanks Sandy! This is Monhegan Island, Maine USA. A couple of lovely timber buildings, small boats and some dramatic shadows. Going for some dark shadows here to contrast with the boats

Maine, USA, 15" x 11"
A demo workshop painting based on a reference photo of a fishing harbour in Maine. I thought the scene made for a good composition - a left and right frame with the buildings, not too symmetrical, a row of boats leading the eye up the scene into the background. The buildings on the left had some dry brush strokes applied and different hues to give it an aged look. Also the lobster pots in the foreground had to be simplified so as not to draw too much attention.
