Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.567

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the Nyack, New York painting. I am using the photo seen directly below. The scene is Main street in Nyack, New York, a historic town on the Hudson River. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6x6 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.

This week's changes are all seen on the lower facades of all of the buildings and the upper facades of the distant ones. The lower facades have added detail and a lighter color. Note the storefront windows of the closest building. Moving down the line, the upper facades are now all complete starting with that fourth building. Finally, another layer of green has been added to the trees.

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.

Changes are incremental for this week's cycle. Starting at the left side, I've added some paint to the hood of the Jeep. Just above, the trees have received another layer of green. They now stand prominently against the blue. The central tree now has a shadow running parallel to the newly darkened shadow of the SUV. Finally, the storefronts have been darkened in preparation for things to come.

I have continued to add to the various elememts of the scene. Starting in the street, the roadway and 2 cars now appear with an initial layer of paint. The partial foreground car has a window and chrome surround. To the far rear, the two distant trees now have some green paint. The building facades have received multiple layers of paint, starting with yellow and overpainted with blue. The nearest building to the right clearly shows the result of that process.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.564

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be starting a new painting. I am using the photo seen directly below. The scene is Main street in Nyack, New York, a historic town on the Hudson River. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 6x6 inch canvas.

I began with a pencil sketch of the scene on my usual grid. I would have been happy to show that to you but the photograph is just not dark enough to be seen on your monitor. So I have the sketch with paint added to clearly delineate the various elements. In addition to the blue outline of the scene, I have painted the sky and started the trees. There is much more to come.

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