Probably the hardest thing is getting the idea into your brain lol.
But I decided to try to draw pearl divers. who return home late in the evening after a long search for shellfish on the ocean floor between the valves of which precious pearls were hidden.
I called this drawing "Night of the Pearl Fishers".
I see that the organizer of the competition wanted to verify the authorship of the work and offered to show a selfie with the work I hope that my signature on a piece of paper and today’s date will be enough.
Not the best time for me to take selfies lol.
So I decided to depict a boat hollowed out of a tree trunk under sail.
I had never painted a boat from this angle before, and especially since I was trying to show it at night I had to swim towards it in the fog and in the hope that everything would work out.
I think that one pearl diver will be bored and depicted two divers who are tired and a little cold on their way home.
I didn’t have a lot of free time I had to do everything very quickly so all this was drawn at an “express” pace.
The worst was yet to come. When I needed to plunge the painting into the night it was very easy to lose control lol.
I was worried that everything would look monotonous and unattractive but as they say I bought a one-way ticket and my train had already left the station platform.
As a result I ended up with such a modest painting which I may work on in the future.
Zoom in on a photo for a closer view.
More to come!
