Sunset Fishing Vessel

Hello crafty people. It's Plymouth Meeting again.

Here is the latest and greatest collaboration of Jen and Tegan. The best thing about this chalk is how easy, fast, and how nice this chalk turned out.

Our technique: We started by painting the background. We used many layers, very wide paintbrushes and finished off with some sponge painting. We were very pleased ;)

Second half was drawing the black silhouetted ship against our lovely sunset sky. We did transfer many lines for clarity and time's sake, and then finished up by looking at our reference photos.

We hope you like it as much as we do, and for any chalk artists out there looking to paint a complex sea faring vessel, this is the way to go!
