Boathouse on the Hudson - Finished?


I think "Boathouse on the Hudson" is finished. I'll have to look at it over the next few weeks to see if there is anything that I want to change. If it stands up to scrutiny I will submitt it to the New Jersey Watercolor Society 66th Annual Open Juried Show in October.
News: The painting was accepted into the show on Sat. Oct. 4th.

Boathouse on the Hudson in progress.


This is an, in progress, image of a new painting of a Boathouse on the Hudson River.
I completed the top half first so that I can use it as a reference for the reflections in the bottom half. Reflections are tricky. If they don't work out, I can discard the bottom half and still have a presentable painting.

This is another image of the Hudson River from Piermont NY. looking north toward Hook Mountain and the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Watercolor, image size 21"x14".


This is a later revision of the image above. After looking at it over a few weeks I decided to add more contrast to the hull, add more red to the foreground, darken the forested hillside, added more color to the horizon and made the high sky darker.
