1st step -- Peregrine II

I have blocked out the design
on my canvas which has been
underpainted in cadmium red
light. The design is complex so
I have used a grid to get it right.

2nd step

I have further developed the
design - blocking in some light
values.

3rd step

The complementary blue/orange
colour scheme is established
with some dark values creating
contrast.

4th step

I am developing the ship's lines
(ropes) which will create a focal
point with textural interest.

5th step

The mid-tones of the deck are
laid in.

6th step

The ship's lines are complete
and the background shapes suggested.

Final

et voila!
