Painting a boat step by step - Part 2

Well, I sorted out my previous mishap. The sketch is now correctly proportioned and I've started to apply some paint. I used a thin blue wash with a hint of green for the sky. This will be lightened later, and blended into a paler blue towards the boat. I've filled in a darkish green for the areas of the sea which reflect the sky. The rest of the water will reflect the boat, so that will be much darker. And finally I've applied a base layer of white to the cabin. A lot of this will be painted over, but it's good to get some paint on the canvas. Got to get this done in the next two weeks, so keep coming back to see the progress.
