My ArtVenture: Mixed medium painting "Watch out Pirates Armada"
Hello dear Steemians,
I hope everyone is well and started good their week. I am luckily off because I am having my long shifts on weekend, so just enjoying my days and charging power for coming hard work.
I noticed my watercolor was not so popular, that may be due to two factors, because of disaster after system update of people do not like Inspector Barnaby.
Nevertheless, I thought it is very human that we all sometimes like to have peaceful quiet life and good people around us, but when we watching movies or reading books or playing computer games, sometimes we are fascinated by bad characters such as Pirates, Vampire, Werewolves, witches. We even a bit jealous and in the depth of our hearts we also want to be a bit bad guy
To tell the truth me, the same I love such bad characters and today I thought to do my painting with one of them, of course I love sea and the story of Blackbeard if the most fascinating story that I have every read. There are still a lot of interesting facts, such as people who were on board were not only drinker and lazy people, but there were carpenter and blacksmiths very experienced who did hard job to keep the ship in a good form, despite of being equipped witth enormous amount of weapon the ships were still very fast and manoeuvre comfortably. That Blackbeard was not greedy about getting more money but he also was a caring person for the families of those who were working with him and for him, he was supporting those villages where the families of those people lived. That sounds like a good governor.
My painting I started with acrylic paints, but then it was a moment when I thought that soft pastel could give the plasticity for clouds and sails so I added pastel in the middle and then finish with acrylic paints.
My acrylic colors:
- Cadmium Red and Yellow
- Cyan Blue
- Yellow Ochre
- Burnt Sienna
- Titanium White
I used soft pastel:
- Olive brown
- Russet
- Ochre
- White

This is such a fun painting! A pirate armada... what an awesome theme :D.
Good job on successfully executing your vision, the pirate ship look pretty convincing, especially with its skull flag displaying proudly and the water and sky are great, especially in its green and blue colour. Charge onward!
Thank you @scrawly, agree that was really a fun to do that, love pirates stuff and now do to coming Halloween there are different thoughts about possible costume and funny events :)
Thank you for your nice comments and of course I love painting skull and bones :)
Thank you @anitacarolina :)
Really lovely piece, @stef1 !! The composition is really nice! The main ship front and center and their companion ships trailing on either side, this definitely convey the word ARMADA! :D Gorgeous froth as the ship charges forward across the sea and I love your colours, as always :D
The pirate flag flying in the sky is really great !!! And your step by step presentation is nice, too <3
Thank you, I am glad that everything worked out as I wanted, I thought it would be too dark, so had to light up the clouds a bit, just did not want same background, so one is more lighter. I love sails and of course the flags. Was nice to read your thoughts and description :)
I love it!!
I have this feng shui ship that I bought some time back
It is supposed to symbolise my ship is coming in with all my goodies right
So looking at this, I thought yeah that's how my ship would be rolling in
Right at me... haha
oh, how do I get the e-steem surfer banner? Was wondering if I could use it too at the end of my posts ...
Thank you for that lovely comment and for sharing your little story. I am really glad to know that you like the painting. As to the banner, it is actually my husband who is doing that, sorry I have such service provided so myself no idea, I am the heart and he is the brain of our blog :)
Awww that's kinda sweet :)
