Painting Nine-SB Yacht Club

This is a different style of watercolor for me.  I was afraid I was going to get rained out so I decided to draw with my rigger instead of a pencil as I normally do.  I was quite pleased with the freedom this gave me.  I felt like I was drawing and painting at the same time.  It was lots of fun and even though I did get rained out I managed to capture the essence of the Yacht Club activity.  I used the same 4 color pallette as the last painting - the primaries plus paynes gray.  I like that choice too because even though it involves a bit more mixing to get the secondaries there is a built in color harmony that I like.  This painting took one half hour from concept to the time I had to jump on my bike to escape the rain storm.  Hope you like it.
