Artist's Comments

This is a copy of a painting I did for my watercolor class as an excersise in understanding a master work. This is a non-profit painting created as a study only.

The original painting was created by Aelbert Cuyp in 1660. His masterpiece was painted with oils on canvas and can be seen at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

This is extremly gorgeous! I love watercolor, though I suck at it, and I have to say you handle it pretty good here. Good job!I love the clouds and the water!

Awesome, I really like the reflections in the water. I wish I could paint like that.

I don't generally care for watercolor, but this one is pretty nice. I especially like how the sail in the forefront came out.

MEOW!
