Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.698

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the Assateague refuge painting. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6x6 inch canvas board.

When last seen the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.

I have refined the sky a bit. Below, the trees across the way now appear in a darker bluish green with the low growing plants a bit brighter. Below the shoreline I have started the reflection on the surface of the refined pond. Things are going well.

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.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.697

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be starting a new painting. I will be painting a scene from the eastern shore of Virginia. It is at the Assateague National Refuge, home of the famous wild horses. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6x6 inch canvas board.

I started with a pencil grid on both a print of the photo and the canvas. In this way I was able to transfer the elements to the canvas in an accurate pencil sketch. I began by painting the large sections of sky, water and the narrow strip of land that lies between.

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.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.696

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the old double-turreted Victorian. The photo that I am using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 8x10 inch canvas.

When last see 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 several changes for this week's cycle. I've revised that propane(?) tank. Next to it the boardwalk has been darkened just a bit as well as the shadow and roof. Finally, there are those windows, now complete with some, but not too much, detail. And with that I am done.

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.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.695

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the old double-turreted Victorian. The photo that I am using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 8x10 inch canvas.

When last see the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.

Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.

I've now revised virtually every part of the painting. Note the tip of the turret standing above the roof as well as the chimney. The lit siding contrasts nicely with the revised and now darkened windows. The lawn and the foliage far to the rear along with the building's shadow make for a now suitable site. Last but not least, the boardwalk out in front.

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.
