Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.550

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the 1940 Plymouth. I am using the photo seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 8x10 inch 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.

For this week's cycle I've concentrated on the three cars. The central Plymouth now appears in a blue green color. This is the first of several layers to come. Likewise, the Jeep to the left has an initial layer. Note that the color will change down the road. My Mazda to the far rear has only a color wash to show for its progress this week. Next week I'll have some thicker layers of paint to show.

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.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the 1940 Plymouth. I am using the photo seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 8x10 inch 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 began at the bottom by painting in the grass and shadow. I started this way simply because it provides a nice defining base for the things to come. I then proceeded to paint the outlines of the 3 cars. Finally, I painted some blue sky.

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.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.548

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be starting an entirely new painting. I am using the photo seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 8x10 inch gallery wrapped canvas.

The photo is from the parking lot of the Stormville Flea market this past year. My car is the black one to the far rear directly behind the 1940 Plymouth. I took this photo and didn't look at it until later on that day. I saw those shadows and knew it had to be on canvas.

I started with a grid upon which I sketched the scene. That sketch is seen in the photo directly below. A good start.

Next week, some actual paint.

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

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.547

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be showing you something a little bit different. In response to a request for images for the recently started front page science fiction series, I started a painting on a small 4x5 inch canvas. Using my usual acrylics I set out to paint something not unlike the science fiction images seen on paperback books of the 1950s and 1960s. The result is seen directly below.

I did this in a short time one afternoon. It was nice to paint without my usual heavy reliance on a photo. I'll have to do this again sometime.

I'll have a new painting to show you next week. See you then.
