Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be starting an entirely painting. The photo that I will be using is seen directly below. I will be using my usual acrylics on a 8×10 gallery-wrapped canvas.
This is a house in Cape May, New Jersey that I have actually painted once before many years ago, but not very well. This time around I intend to do much better. Currently, this house does not look as it does in the photo. It has since been painted in a bizarre combination of red and ochre. Pretty it is not. Thankfully, I have my old photo for reference.
I started with a grid and then drew in the outline of the house. I have painted in some color to better highlight the outline of the home. I’m pleased so far.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I’ll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.

Paint me a picture of your thoughts.
boran2,
That`s a pretty good start. I don`t think you`ve shown us a sketch like this before, though I could be in error.
btw; You do have an error in grammar in your opening.
“This week I will be starting an entirely painting.”
It should read, “an entirely beautiful painting”

It just needs a Je ne sais quoi.
Have a happy & healthy holiday to you & those you hold dear.
Thanks Knucklehead. Hopefully I’m a better painter than I am a writer.
I’m not sure about prior sketches but you may be right.
Best holiday wishes to you and your family!
A lot of the artists I went to school with were like that. The requirement to have written statements to accompany their work seemingly drove a few of my friends nuts. The work speaks for itself. 🙂
