Bamora, the canvas beginnings of the new painting.

“Bamora departing Sydney Harbour”.  The basic drawing is now in place and tones are beginning to be established.
Getting the bridge big enough and perspective to scale has been a struggle
for technical reasons I’ll spare you however we are now ‘about there’.
Over the next few days I’ll be refining the drawing and tones.
I am also checking out the appearance of the ferries.
I suspect new ferries were commissioned during the early ’60’s and the tug.
Of the latter I need a better image and the colour scheme.
I have launched enquiries for those.
Meanwhile there is plenty I can get on with developing the main components
of the painting, ‘Bamora’, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the great P & O liner ‘Canberra’.
