- Retired Fishing Boat - Apalachicola, Florida
Filmed in the panhandle of Florida, Roger paints an old fishing boat on location in the bright midday sun. The boat is in disrepair but has lots of character adding to its charm. Roger describes and demonstrates a technique for accurately drawing the sweeping lines of a boat using a figure eight. Sarah talks with a resident who grew up in the charming waterfront village and learns about early tourism and the fishing trade.
Excellent. Very enjoyable to watch. THANKS.
Old boats are always an attraction to artists. I like the play of light and shadows you brought out here, Roger.
So glad I found Painting and Travel again. I use to watch this program on OETA - Tulsa PBS station. Nice to watch it again.
I think is one my favorite paintings I have watched you do. Like how you did the values & color.
Très beau, merci 🤩
A couple of technical questions: Do you fix your charcoal drawing so it doesn't mix with your paints? And, are you using Open acrylics, otherwise, how do you keep them from drying out (especially in the hot Florida sun!)? Thanks!
I probably didn't fix the charcoal when I did this as I didn't carry fixative with me. It really doesn't mix with the paint enough to bother. It mostly just disappears when painting over it and probably mixes in a bit but not a problem. I don't use open acrylics. Tried them but don't like them. I use liquitex heavy body acrylics. When they dry I put out more.
@@Bansemer Thanks Rodger, that's good to know. Love your work and your videos.
