This is the second one I did a couple of days ago in Emsworth Harbour. I was running out of steam by then and the light wasn't as beautiful as the early morning so I packed up. Back in the studio I ended up wiping most of it off see below as I wasn't happy with how the paint was applied.
So there was a ghost of a painting left and having been closely looking at the subject the day before I could remember it quite well, so it came together quickly. I also looked at the drawing again because what had attracted me was looking through the uprights of the jetty to the boats behind.
A mistake possibly was using too small a board so the scale of the boats were mini!
I don't think there is a mistake! I rather like the scale and again the still water is so well painted. It is full of interest and subtlety.
