Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.502

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Cape May street scene. The photo I am using is seen directly below. I will be using my usual acrylics on an 8 by 8 inch gallery-wrapped 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.

I've actually painted over many of the various elements. Paint has been added to the various roofs, cars, foliage and the siding of both houses. Yes, I've decided to continue down the road of bright colors. This will be a bit of an experiment but I have a feeling it will work out well. Continuing with the fairly bright blue, I've added to the shaded front of the main structure. Note the porch posts and window trim. The siding is the same blue as the trim but with a bit of white added. I can't wait to finish the attic window up above. That is 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.

Out in front, both cars have received some paint. The far car has been painted a nice blue. The closer one has had the same blue applied to its windows. Behind them, the initial layer of green has been painted on what will be the foliage adjacent to the front steps. Below, the street has received some additional paint. Then there's the house. It has received some blue paint to simulate shadow. This will need adjustment before this is done. Up on top, the chimney has received a similar treatment.

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.

This has been a busy week leaving little time for painting. For SPP number 500 I would have liked something more momentous but at least the initial layer of paint is now complete. (Note especially the front steps.) I've finished the roadmap of things to come. It gives an indication what this painting will look like in a few weeks. Now I can start painting with some detail. That will be for next week's cycle.

I started adding some paint to the grid-assisted pencil sketch. At this stage I'm just adding basic colors to the various elements. This will give me an idea how things will eventually look and act as a road map for my progress. Note that the red is the same for the SUV and house to the rear. I may change that but maybe not. It's a good start.
