Shrimp Boat Lowcountry Commissioned Painting


A few years ago, I completed a commissioned painting for a good friend of mine, Victor Wilson. He wanted a low country scene including a shrimp boat and the Charleston Light House. To narrow his idea into reality, I did several color sketches. All the sketches are below. The sketch above was the one he selected to proceed further with. 



Above is the black and white canvas study. 


Then I painted a small color canvas study, above. 


Above is the final painting, which was very large, over five feet in width. Below are the watercolor sketches that began the process. I donated these to the University of Georgia Alumni club. They auctioned them off at a fundraiser.  





 The painting below is pure color; no value or black used. 


Below is the most traditional drawing. Color pencil o paper.
