Beautiful job! I should look at more you tube stuff but like you say, I don't want to watch someone just do something without guidance and explanation and so many of them are like that.Ok way out of my flower comfort zone on this one. Tried to follow a tutorial by Jane Slivka on YouTube. I like her teaching style. She explains how to start the painting and the logic behind what she’s doing. Most of the acrylic artists post a demo with no instructions. Not a lot of actual tutorials with voice overs that I’ve been able to find on subjects that I’m interested in painting.
It needs a few touch ups once it full dries. Will look at it again tomorrow.

Thanks! Boats are hard. One little line going the wrong way and it just looks off. I had to redo this one several times before it came out right - really looking at the photo each time.Nice. I like the way you did the boat.

This looks great - showing some Impressionist technique here. The water strokes look very Monet-like. A nice skill to have! I like this painting very much.
So cool - so colorful! I don't know if I'd sweat the perspective of the boat too much - note the perspective of the ref image. I like paintings like this: things deliberately a bit off-kilter but the subject is still clear, and the colors are bright and whimsical.
If you're trying to go with the ref photo, maybe a little more space between the boats next time? They're a bit crowded. But I agree with you: your water is very good, and you nailed the reflections. This is a fun painting!
Still enjoying your class? Are you being encouraged to look at online ref photos for practice or just doing these for fun? Either way you're doing really well.
What a great exhibit this is! Lucky you.Went to the Henry Moore and Georgia O’Keefe exhibit at the MFA today. Her work is so gorgeous! They also have a bunch of Monets, Renoir s Dance at Bougival and several Van Goghs. A wonderful, visually exhausting day.

I’m not sure why but is the specific painting that pops into my mind whenever anyone mentions art. I was thrilled to see it in person.
