Saturday Painting Palooza Volume 293

This week I'll be continuing with the painting of the Pink House in Cape May, New Jersey. I will be using the photo seen directly below. I'm working on an 8x10 canvas in my usual acrylic paints.

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.

I've continued to refine the structure. The details of the gingerbread now reside within the arches. More details are seen at the top of the two story porch. I'm using blue as the shadowed areas of the white trim. Note the blue shadows under the eaves. Within the gable the window has assumed a shape close that of its final appearance.

I've added more pinkish color to the wall behind the porch. This will need to be changed and lightened before I'm done.

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.

You'll have to look closely for some of this week's changes. It's easy to see that the sky has received another layer of paint but the changes to the house are more subtle. The arches are now much more refined and almost ready for some gingerbread details. They now appear in white as does the right side and lower portions of the building. I hoping to have some details for you next week.

Hello again painting fans.

Though it may not be readily apparent, I've actually reworked most of the painting. I started by adding a layer of light blue paint over the porch posts and trim. This is to serve as the shadowed portion of the trim. The lit portions (yet to come) would be painted directly over parts of the blue in a bright white. I then added some blue-green paint to provide underpainting for the bushes.

I then went back and reconfigured the pink body color. Some of this pink became mixed in with white while reshaping the posts once again. This unintended result is actually rather appealing. I do like to embrace happy accidents but I'll have to carefully consider which in which direction this will go. I will (hopefully) have things worked out for next week.

Unfortunately, I did not get as much done as I would have liked. I did manage to paint in the base coat of the sky. This change provides a nice delineation for my color blind eyes and pushes the house forward visually. The final color will be a much lighter blue. Note that the blue continues under the porch roof the left side. I then painted the base coat of the body color of the house itself. The columns received a little white paint. There is much left to do in the coming installments.
