Fouled Lines

Fouled Lines
18x24 oil on canvas

When lines aren't tended or are mishandled they no longer function properly and the ship can't sail on course.

The tonal underpainting
Laying in the color begins
Focusing on and bring detail to the rope
Refining the lines and the imagined chaos 
Attention paid to the stormy sky, lines in the background, the mast and boom
To finish the final image, I brought more shadow and detail into the knot.
