Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.389

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Cape May, New Jersey houses. I am using my usual acrylic paints on an 8x8 inch gallery-wrapped canvas. The photo that I'm using appears directly below.

When last seen, the photo appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

Since that time, I have continued to work on the painting.

There are many changes for this week's cycle. I have continued to move down the canvas. The entry to the far right has now been completed. Note that it is all in shadow, created with the addition of blue to the beige paint. Below, the stairs and lower portions of both buildings are complete. I have taken a few liberties here, reshaping the sparse bushes and adjusting the colors a bit. Well, more than just a bit. The color of the foundations match the upper levels in a way that is unlike the photo. Continuing downward, the sidewalk has been completed, also with some color liberties taken. I have otherwise been faithful including the strips of grass at the curb. Below that, the roadway has been completed using colors seen elsewhere in the painting. And with these changes, the painting is finally complete. I am fairly happy with it.

The current 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.

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Cape May, New Jersey houses. I am using my usual acrylic paints on an 8x8 inch gallery-wrapped canvas. The photo that I'm using appears directly below.

When last seen, the photo appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

I have continued to add to the house on the right. I've now finished the windows including those facing the right. Note also the lit area on the right facing wall. That lighting is also present on the roof above and the roof of the house to the left. Moving back to the house to the right, note the shading of the entry area on the lower right side. It was achieved with the addition of some blue paint to the beige color used in on the siding. I've also added some paint to the brick flower boxes at the base of the house.

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.

Hello again painting fans.

When last seen, the photo appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

I have continued to move from left to right. For this week's installment, I've done significant work to the house on the right. The beige paint now covers the entire surface. I will make some adjustments as some blue was mixed in. Speaking of blue, the blue trim surrounds the now-completed windows, entry and porch. Well, the porch and entry still need some work. Above, I've added a layer of paint to the sky. Gone are the reference marks from the initial brushstrokes. Below, the street now appears a bit darker.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.386

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the 2 Cape May, New Jersey houses. I am using my usual acrylic paints on an 8x8 inch gallery-wrapped canvas. The photo that I'm using appears directly below.

When last seen, the photo appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

Since that time, I have continued to work on the painting.

I've concentrated most of my efforts on the house to the left. I've painted the body color, a light brown, over the bright yellow. I haven't totally obliterated the yellow so it does show through a bit. I've also added the architectural details in the same brown as the roof. The roof itself has received another layer of paint. I've started the house to the right, which now has much of its body color in place. I hope to finish that portion for next week.

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.
