Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be starting a new painting. The photo that I will be using is seen directly below. I will be using my usual acrylics on an 8×8 gallery-wrapped canvas.
This is a building I have seen many times on my trips out west. This relic is located in the town of Holbrook, Arizona, where it stands just off route 40. It is a former service station from what is likely the late 1930s. The building is done in a fabulous streamlined ovoid style. I visit each time I go by just to see if anything has been done with it. It continues in a state of benign neglect. I finally decided to make use my photos and imortalize it in acrylic paint.
Below is another photo.
I started with a pencil grid followed by an outline in the sweet potato paint used in the last painting. I’ve added a layer of blue to define the sky.
The current state of the painting is seen directly below.
I’ll have more to show you next week. See you then.
