Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.346

Hello again painting fans.

This week I'll be continuing with the Sedona, Arizona roadway scene. The photo that I am using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 10x10 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.

There are many changes this week. I've done work on the median in the roadway. It has now been reshaped and some of the curbing is in place. Alongside, the roadway has received some color and the dotted lines dividing the lanes are in place. Inhabiting the roadway, the cars are now complete. To the far right, the fencing along the roadway has been finished. It has shadows not well depicted in the photo. To the rear, the arched building in the distance is complete. I've begun the middle distance buildings and cross streets. The Burger King now has its logo. Whew.

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.

I have concentrated my efforts on the middle right side of the painting. The fencing to the far right has been heavily revised. It now has uprights and rails in place. I still need to add a few shadows. Just above, the Burger King building now has most of its details. I still need to add a few things including the prominent sign. To the right, the other commercial buildings have now received their first layer of paint. There is still much to do.

I've continued to work downward. That actually makes some sense as the elements toward the bottom are closer to the viewpoint and will therefore have the most detail. In all honesty, I did not plan for things to come in this order. It just happened.

I began by painting the basic shapes of the shops and restaurants seen in the photo. I will add other color and details later on. I've also cleaned the roadway and reshaped the median a bit. Most obvious, the forms of cars now inhabit the roadway. These too are only basic forms awaiting details to come. I've also revised the fence and flora seen to the right of the roadway.

I've had some time this past week and did get a fair amount accomplished. It seems that I'm again working from the top down. I've started with the sky which now has a lighter appearance. I will likely go over it again before this is done. The current appearance is a bit too light I think. After that I moved on to the central butte, which now has highlights and shadows. It also has the green areas seen in the original photo. Finally, the buttes to the rear have also received highlights and shadows consistent with their distance.

I've begun to differentiate the buttes a bit. The heavily shadowed area across the central butte has received a layer of dark paint. The butte's base and the other buttes have also had another layer of paint. Right now the central butte does not appear unified but this will hopefully be resolved for next week.

Above, the sky has been revised and now contrasts nicely, especially with the dark central butte. Below, the grassy areas adjacent to the roadway have been started. Things are starting to become somewhat organized but there is much to do.
