Drawing and Painting the USS Donald Cook (DDG-75)

The next few blog posts will be focused on an oil painting I am producing of USS Donald Cook, a United States Navy destroyer, DDG-75. The painting is for my brother who had served on it for a time in his long career with the Navy.

Below are some work-in-progress shots of the painting that I'm working out as a drawing on paper. I'm studying the values involved and making appropriate adjustments as I need to.
