The man is a mine of knowledge and it's just ideal

Hi Satu - just seen your two boats and for sure the lower wall is better. How nice to be able to change a very obvious line - not so easy in watercolour but probably possible. A great composition with that dark blue sea complementing the other colours. Lovely.

Yes the colours and shapes all work so well together

Again, it's a great painting.

Still great Satu, I like the line of this one.

I'd somehow missed the previous painting but have compared the two and agree that this version is the better of the two. Your boat is excellent and would fit the seaside collaboration challenge perfectly!

The change of height and the darkened edge just finishes this off. Lovely.

I hadn't noticed the wall being too high, but no matter - it is a lovely painting and all the textures add to the interest.

It was an excellent painting to start with, Satu, and it still looks fantastic! My suggestion was very minor.

Your suggestion made it better Seok, thank you.

Great composition Satu…the curve of the boat cuts through your very straight horizontal lines very effectively!
