Yacht Portraiture

One of the celebrated themes of art over the centuries is the yacht portrait.  For owners of yachts, sail and powerboats, The Art of Ships  yacht portraiture carries on the historical and elegant practice of capturing the graceful lines of a vessel, illustrating the pride of ownership.  Two styles of yacht portrait are most sought after, lines profiles and oil portraits.

Lines Profile.  Using photographs and builder's lines drawings, the side profile of the yacht is depicted using computer graphics.  The artist works with the owner to develop the configuration and elements desired such as sails, yacht name, owner's name, class and colors.  The resulting portrait can be sized as desired and printed on a variety of archival media including canvas and watercolor paper.

   Oil Portraits.  Classic brush and oils are used to capture a scene fulfilling the desire of the requestor.  Scene elements include the view of the yacht, specific locations and sea & weather conditions.  The resulting artwork is an original oil painting that will bring a lifetime of pride to it's owner.  

Whether requesting a portrait as a yacht owner, sailing or boating enthusiast, or as a gift for someone who is, please contact us about commissioning your artwork.
