Tug boats[/caption]New Bedford piers are full of many colorful large and small boats ranging from black to bright Magenta. Two tug boats with combination of primary colors; yellow, red and white stripes against the blue ocean stood out as a challenge. I spend a few hours this Saturday drawing and editing then I decided to lay down a first layer of colors. The white vertical railings against horizontal yellow and red bands seemed attractive but a distraction. However, I decided to keep a long horizontal bar from the railing. Among all the squares and the rectangles, a round wheel seemed necessary. I looked for any other small curves I could find to introduce in this space, fortunately there were plenty. Around 5 pm I had to stop painting since the light has changed a lot and the boat seemed to be sinking as the water level was lowering down. I can't wait to return to this place again to complete this painting.
