I really like the tutorials by Buck. They are different and put me out of my comfort zone.
I fell in love with that scene right from the beginning as it has a lot of light and dark contrast. And it has a lot of feeling with the mum and daughter waiting for the arrival of that sail boat. But it doesn’t look like kitsch tough.
The painting was done on black canvas. It was the first time I painted people with oils (I find that much easier with watercolors) and this made the painting a real challenge for me. Especially the hair (my nickname is Kojak, so you can imagine my knowledge about hair, lol) gave me a lot of trouble.
However I am proud to have it finished even it didn’t feel good during the process.
If you want, can you guys do me a favor? Can you tell me how your eyes travel during the painting?
Thank you in advance!
It is hard to capture a good photo as the painting is quite dark (I like dark paintings) but I can add a second (manipulated picture) which is more light.
It is oils on black canvas panel 20 x 28 in (50 x 70 cm)
I see the girl first then clockwise to the light in the sky and then the boat Tom. Beautiful work and I love the contrast!
Lol thanks Tomi. And thank you for the info!
Many thanks Brian for your feedback!
Really beautiful scene!
Thank you Sandy for your support!
Beautiful Tom! My eyes went from the boat to the people.
Thank you Nancy, also for the info!

Very cool Tom . Ich kannte es nicht sieht aber sehr stimmungsvoll aus 👍🏼🇩🇪🇦🇹

Nice work :) have thought of trying this one myself. Beautiful
Danke Dirk, ja das ist sehr stimmungsvoll ohne dabei sehr kitschig zu wirken. Ich fand es eher schwierig, wie alles von Buck.
Many thanks Cosmo. I am happy you like it!

Great job Kojak. My eye goes immediately to the boat, then to the people and down from there.
