Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the towered Victorian painting. I am using the photo seen directly below. I’ll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 8×8 inch canvas.
When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.
Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.
Starting at the top, I’ve added a lit area to the tip of the turret. The corresponding tip shadow just below is now highlighted in the same color. To the left, the entire left side of the house has been overpainted in a pale yellow. I just prefer the look of this color to the plain white. Changes to the trees and lawn are simple. I’ve added some lit areas to each. The half hidden building in the left side shrubbery appears in shadow. With these changes the painting is complete.
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.
Earlier paintings in this series can be seen here.
Paint me a picture of your thoughts.
Looking nice.
Good to see you.
Thanks. I’m not around very often any more. Have mostly taken time off of blogging to focus on some more pressing matters. The place has changed a bit since the last time I was a regular. Noticed the Froggy Bottom Cafe is now a thing of the past. I think your painting diaries are the last of that group of diaries that gave this place a bit of a personal touch. Hopefully you’ll keep what you’re doing going for a while longer.
