Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the painting of the turreted Cape May house. I’ll be using the photo seen directly below.
When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.
Since that time, I have continued to work on the painting.
I’ve actually made a number of changes but they don’t seem to show up well in the photos. Starting at the bottom, the street and sidewalk have received some attention. They appear sharper and darker. (For next week I will add some color to the strip of grass.) To the right, the house next door is also darker but I think that it may need to be darker still. Or at least grayer. To the left, the tree to the far rear now has a bit of green on its highlighted portions. Below the tree, things have been sharpened a bit. Above, the sky has actually received another layer of paint. Finally, on the house itself, the stairs and lower portions have had some sharpening of details. I still have a few more things to add.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
That’s about it for now. Next week I’ll have more progress to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.
