Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.515

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the brick Victorian house. The photo I am using is seen directly below. I will be using my usual acrylics on an 10 by 10 inch 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.

I had limited time to paint this past week. As such, I concentrated my efforts in two places. Starting at the top, I realized that the roof need to mirror the lighting seen in the photo. The bright roof was wrong and inconsistent with the lighting of the remainder of the house. I proceeded to paint the areas shaded in the photo in the same blue color seen elsewhere on the house. It provides both a unity and consistency to the structure. Secondly, I needed to change the wall seen directly to the right of the porch. I painted it the same orange as the other sections of wall. It is now appropriate and consistent.

The current state of the painting is seen directly below.

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

There are several changes for this week's installment. Starting at the bottom of the house, the base of the porch is now darker with an additional layer of paint. I've also started the front steps. I'm attempting to keep the same number of steps as in the photo. Both of these elements will need additional work. Above, the porch roof is now seen in lit and shadowed segments. To the left and above, the windows have been painted. Note the repainted eaves of the upper left side. The lines did not match properly in the previous version. Finally, the circle and bay windows have been painted with additional attention to the bay roof.

I started this week's installment by completing the blue shadowed areas of the house. All of those now appear in a deep blue. The orange has gotten some attention as well. Above, the sky has received another layer of paint. The pencil lines of the grid are mostly gone. Below, the lawn now appears in a darker green.

For this week' s installment I have continued to paint the lit and shadowed areas of the house. Dark shadow now falls on the front-facing gable to the left, turret, porch and under the various eaves. Butting up against the blue is the deep orange of the brick. Yes, I have taken the brick of the original photo and gone off in a different direction. I really do like the contrast of the colors and will maintain the nice contrast throughout this process. The roof and foundation will also keep their present color.
