I just finished this one this morning. 10x14, 3 hours.
It's a bit sloppy I know, the setting was at the Kapaluabay Hotel bar ::)

I recently bought a Roland FJ52 plotter to print giclees. I printed this painting on w/c paper. I can sell 22x30's for $150.

Hi Don

I really enjoyed reading the method of doing this painting on your website. Such a great painting it is. I just love old ships . Use to sail them Radio Control. Good old square riggers sure wish I could paint them. Thanks for doing that one.

Question..

How thick roughly would the spares and mast be and also the riging.. 1/16" 1/8" Thickness?

Also how do you get such perfectly straight lines on your painting. Do you use a straight edge of sorts?

I got your email at my yahoo email site thanks for reply.

Hi Johnie,
They dismantled the ship after all these years the week after I painted it.
All the lines were at least 1". The main mast was at least a foot wide.
I will not hesitate to use a straight edge, it's the perfect curves that are hard.

On the last day I used the biggest brush. My #36 White sable Golith.

I was asking the thickness of the lines for the mast, spars and rigging in your painting not the ship. Sorry for confusion.

Such a shame that it was dismantled. Is there plans to rebuild it somewhere.?

No new plans, just distroy the old and make a landing dock for the tourists...
The painting is on 22x30, the mast is perhaps 1/2 " at the base, the lines, a single stoke with a #1 rigger brush. Round furrel long hair, flat at the end. You just can't seem to buy those brushes anymore.

Love the apple stack. Your progression of warm colors on the smallest, top apple, to the coolest, larger, bottom apple is very fragrant and refreshing - not to mention couriously interesting!
