Replenishment at Sea

Posted by: Rob Burkhard in inspiration, tags: , , ,

One of the most exciting and dramatic events in the underway Navy is replenishment at sea. In 1998 I shot a  picture of this scene from the USS Cape St. George CG-71 and have painted it into an impressionistic and dramatic sunset.  We were in waiting station (300-600 yards behind the CV) and the sea was a bit lively and catching the warm light.

15×22 300lbs Arches paper with 7 Winsor Newton watercolors: Permanent Yellow, Scarlet Lake, Antwerp Blue, Cobalt Blue, Terra Verde, Indigo and lots of Burnt Sienna.

Came home from work and needed to at least finish the rough of this 14×17 drawing.  Now it can sit a few days until I figure out what to do with it next, or be done with it.
