WIP boat yards Northam, Southampton

WIP boat yards Northam, Southampton

This photo shows WIP stages of a painting of the boat yards at Northam, at the east side of Southampton City, UK, with the River Itchen running through the landscape. The actual painting was finished a few months ago and can be seen here in this post.
This post shows in stages the build up of the painting, done in acrylics on a 20" x 16" board. The fist stage is the drawing, done in brown acrylic paint on a red acrylic ground. The picture has been made B/W for clarity. The second is a halfway stage and illustrates the top part of the skyline mostly completed but the bottom half largely untouched. The red ground is very visible here. The final picture shows the completed painting sitting on the easel.
The final painting can be seen here.
