Brig Tre Kronor

I enjoyed painting this, it was a real challenge. I darkened the sky and sea to make the boat stand out. I did this a day after I had ennitinally finished. It's important to stand back a little and let some time go by before one finally decides that the painting is complete. 

 Brig Tre Kronor
"Four gentlemen with a passion for beauty, navigation and sailing vessels launched the Stockholm Brig project in 1993. The first drawings were presented in 1994, and in 1997 the Brig’s keel was laid on Skeppsholmen, Stockholm." Read more about this beautiful boat here.

    Darkening sky and sea really makes the boat stand out, it was a good idea.

      I'm happy with this one, the composition may be a bit weak but that wasn't my focus, I'm just trying to get good at seascape painting :)
