I love good old pirate stories…
Abandon ship! 18th-century pirate Blackbeard deliberately grounded his leaky boat
Blackbeard was one of the most-feared pirates in the Americas, robbing Royal Navy and merchant ships off the eastern coast of North America and the Caribbean in the early 18th century. But Blackbeard's reign of maritime terror ended not long after he ran his ship aground near the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Now, evidence from the shipwreck suggests that the grounding was no accident.
With this piece I wanted use more texture and use paint knife to get the different result. I often like using wooden panel, to get either smoother or rougher result. I find myself more enjoyable to paint on wooden panel and not to getting that pixel out look what you get often on canvas paintings.
