Drawing a sailing regatta in ArtRage

Hi friends!

Today we'll drawing seascape with one of beautiful stories - a sailing regatta.
Snow white sails in a cloudy and blue water nature background was always amazing view!

Now I choose for my work the same tools you know - Palette knife, but I'll blended with it a paint strokes making with another interesting drawing tool the traditional artists using sometimes - Paint Tube

File size - 1500 x 1000 dpi 150

Choosing the texture and color of canvas

Set of canvas I save default but change Canvas Color to light blue

Sketch with Pencil (default options)

Before the start my work I showed some photos with regatta's stories, but I didn't choose one special shot as a reference.
Story of my painting is imagination...

Light fluffy clouds I drew with Oil Paint

and maked blend a little with Palette knife

Then I drew a sea in new layer.
Now I used a Paint Tube

I choosing a some colors like has a ocean's water

When an area of sea painting with tube strokes, I chose a Palette knife with this option

Note: I marked a check-box "Lock Rotation!"

And started a blending paint strokes to get a realistic waves

Then I erased a thick strokes near a skyline, but on a foreground I stayed a large strokes as big waves.

In the same way I draw the yachts

Detalized with Oil brush

And thin objects with Pensil

Already good, but not enough!
Next step I drew a reflection on water.
I maked it with Oil Brush (preset Dry Clumps too, but lower value of pressure and more strong blending)

Then I specified an edges of sailes on far yachts with Palette knife

Last step I drew some waves on foreground with Oil brush (the same options)

And seagulls on the sky with Pensil

So, I think I got very cool seascape with white sails as real oil picture!
And what do you think about?

Have a nice and positive day!
Be healthy!

Regards.
