Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the Cold Spring, NY scene. The photo that I’m using is seen directly below. I’ll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 5×7 inch canvas.
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.
The changes are many for this week’s cycle. Out in back, the trees (Yes, those are trees and not mountains.) have been overpainted with shaded and lit areas. Note that the bushes out in front have been treated similarly. On top, I’ve revised the left side roof just a bit. Below that, I’ve darkened the shadowed left side of the house. Note that the window surrounds have been revised to show a shadows on their respective left sides and bottoms and not the former uniform surrounding line. I’ve also completed the porch and added some yellow to the lit portions of the house. Finally, the brown car now has the side marker light it needed. The painting is now done.
The current and final state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I’ll have a new painting to show you next week. See you then.
