Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.459

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with painting of the 1937 Rolls Royce. The photo that I will be using is seen directly below. I will be using my usual acrylics on an 9x12 gallery-wrapped 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.

There are many changes this week. I've revised the car a bit. The yellowish rear door is now less bright and more in keeping with the rest of the car. Ahead of that door, I've added a reflection haze to the black paint similar to the front fender. This was accomplished with some thin white/gray paint. The same has been done to the rear fender. There are several components that now have a hard outline. To the rear of the painting, the hills/bushes have been completed as well as the flat areas before them. I've also adjusted the roadway centerline a bit. Finally, the bark of the palm trees has been reduced in color intensity by applying the same watery white/gray used on the car body. The painting is now completed.

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.

There are lots of changes this week. The tops of the palm trees are finally in place. To paint the leaves, I began by painting the shape in blue for each tree. Over the blue base I then added the leaves with strokes of green and yellow. I tried to keep the brush fairly dry. In doing this, the brush left a texture across the weave of the canvas. I am happy with the result. I've also reshaped the background masses. There is still much to do including some tweaks of the car.

I'll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.

For this week's installment, I've concentrated on the sky and foliage behind the car. I've actually painted several layers of paint on the sky. I'll leave it as it is for now and make revisions, if needed, after the trees are completed. Below, the foliage has been roughly painted. The shapes of the shrubs will likely change as I go along. Other tweaks include paint added to both the roadway and centerline.

Once again, I have concentrated my efforts on the car itself. The changes are many. Note that the grille has highlights and darkened areas, including the emblem at the top. It really has taken on something of the quality of metal. Out in front of the grille is the auxiliary headlight, standing above the bumper. The main headlights have received attention in the form of shadowing of the lenses. Below them are the dual horns. The wheels have been painted and the whitewalls whitened. Above, the windows and their frames have been painted. Finally, the fenders have received another lighter layer of paint. All of this has been done with black and white paints, and derivatives thereof. The car is now essentially done, with perhaps only a few tweaks remaining.

But first, some very good news. The Holbrook , Az service station was selected for the juried show at the Kent Art Association, in Kent, Connecticut. It is now hanging in the current show for those in the area. It is seen below.

I am very pleased.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

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 have concentrated most of my efforts directly on the car. The grille and headlights have been painted with some of the details seen in the photo. I'm going to refine the bars of the grille a bit and add highlights for next week's cycle. Below, the bumper has also received some attention, now appearing in a light blue. The wheels have their whitewalls and the start of the chrome rims. Looking at it now, I'll have to reshape them just a bit. The fenders have also been given some paint along with the windows. Finally, a touch of green now appears just ahead of the car, on the right side of the painting.

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.
