Hello friends, I would like to present you my new painting. I painted it for one of my teachers. She is going to give it to her son for Christmas. I have already painted for her a picture with sunken ship. This time it is something more positive and tantastic.

The canvas is in a size 30x60cm. I used basic acrylic paint you can buy in big 1l cans for 5€. I enjoy the amount and also quality is really good. I used also blue metalic acrylic paint on one of the books to make some nice shiny effect. The painting was made according to a picutre I recieved as a pattern, but I had to change it slightly. The whole work took me 3 hours. You can watch the video with the process :)

The process:

🔹 I started with the background. There is a transition, so I had to work quickly to achieve it. It could be done smooth, but I liked it this way so the strokes are visible. I painet also base of the bookshelf.

🔹 Then I painted the shelf. I gave it some wood look and drew an ountline for books.

🔹 The books are brighter in the middle, so I painted edges first and add some lighter color into it.

🔹 I could start with the details. All the books are painted to remind of the sea. I also added an anchor.

🔹 The bubbles were slightly difficult to paint because they had to be nice rounds, but they look quite good at the end. I added also some small fish.

🔹 Finaly I had to paint the ship. The details were not visible enough on the picture so there are some mistakes, but it is not that important.

The result

 

Thanks for watching!
