Above is the process I used for the oil painting of the sailing boat which is called a Yawl based on the configuration of the sails and masts. I started with the pencil sketch and I liked the results. I then did a colored pencil study for figuring out my colors. I darkened the sea in the foreground and greyed the sky on the horizon since I liked it more than the yellow grey of the sketch. I don't always follow this process but I find I get better results if I work these things out before commiting to the actual oil painting.
