Welcome back.
This week we’ll be continuing with our painting of the used car lot, featuring a 1959 Volvo. The photo which I am using is seen directly below.
When last seen here, the painting appeared as it does directly below.
Since that time I have continued working on the painting. I have spent time painting the interior and window glass of the Volvo. The interior is painted in a single color as more would have likely detracted from the piece. Likewise the Volvo’s lefthand and rear windows have been painted in an opaque color. Here too simplicity seemed preferable to more detail. Keeping the windows opaque minimized the visual clutter.
I’ve added to the building to the rear. That pink shade will be changed but that’s for another day.
The painting as it currently appears is seen in the photo directly below.
That’s about it for now, see you next week.
Paint me a picture of your thoughts.
I had to read this four or five times, going back and forth between the two paintings: Likewise the Volvo’s lefthand and rear windows have been painted in an opaque color.
It didn’t make sense to me, yet I didn’t know why. Then I realized that I considered the white of the windows in last week’s painting to be opaque cause now I can see into the car. š
I really like this painting – all the roundedness just pleases me. Thanks.
Now I get it! (about the opaque windows)
I like this painting too, especially the colors. I wonder how “true” they are on my monitor, compared to the original.
Hi b2..always look forward to this weekend diary…makes a nice oasis to stop off at before returning to the more serious.
Painting is looking good…see ya here next week.
