This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Grand Canyon. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below.<p>
<img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/35kvi9z.jpg"><p>
I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6x6 inch canvas.<p>
When last seen the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.<p>
<img src="http://i63.tinypic.com/2uj5hj9.jpg"><p>
Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.<p>
I struggled with the large butte and went through 6 or so revisions. I settled on this final version somewhat satisfied. The brushstrokes mirror those seen on the mid distance buttes. Finally, the far rear has been revised with just the suggestion of additional rocky geography.<p>
The current and final state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.<p>
<img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/am3vo.jpg"><p>
I'll have a new painting to show you next week. See you then.<p>

Since last time I have continued to work on the painting.<p>
I have continued on to the large left side shadowed butte, a part to which I have not looked forward. I attempted to paint the various levels with limited detail, as seen in the photo. I'm not really happy with this and will make another attempt for next week's installment.<p>

I've finally begun the various buttes and shadows of the central portion of the scene. I have tried simlar scenes before with litle success. However, I am happy with these so far. May it continue to go well.<p>

<img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/27wu802.jpg"><p>
I've added more color, darkening things a bit to see if the image will have the illusion of great distance. Note the brown lit buttes and dark shadows below. I've left the far distance lighter for an attempt at aerial perspective.<p>

<img src="http://i64.tinypic.com/2u5cox5.jpg"><p>
I've gone ahead and added some color to each of the elements. I like to get an idea of how things will work by adding some thin color on the canvas. It's still easy to change things around if it isn't working well. I'm happy with things so far.<p>

This week I will be starting a new painting of the Grand Canyon. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6x6 inch canvas.<p>
<img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/35kvi9z.jpg"><p>
I started with my now usual pencil grid, upon which I began my sketch. Note that I draw the same grid over the photo for purposes of an accurate pencil sketch on the canvas. The result is a reasonably accurate outline sketch of the scene.<p>

Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.<p>
I have continued to work on the elements surrounding the central buttes. Note the vegetation on the slope behind as well as more on the lower slope. To the far rear I have painted the far buttes in a pale brown. The painting is now finished.<p>

I have continued to refine the various buttes, now seen with striations and highlights. Note that the photo has brightened things a bit. The buttes loosely mirror what is seen in the photo but with the colors configured for a bit more contrast.<p>

Now the fun begins. I've got a nice brown on the various buttes with just a few highlights. There will be more highlights as well as the green to the right rear and left foreground. Note the pale backdrop.<p>

I'm in the process of figuring which colors work best with the various elements. I'm going with a darker brown color for the buttes, some of which is seen in the photo. The more distant rocks will have a lighter version of the same brown. Ochre highlights will be set off nicely.<p>

Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.<p>
I've now added preliminary paint to those white spaces. The sky appears in blue, buttes in brown and just a hint of
green. I like to lay out things this way to see if the if things look right. Naturally I'll adjust things as I go
along. Sometimes those adjustments are vast changes. Hopefully that isn't the case here.<p>

This week I will be starting a new painting. I will be painting the Grand Canyon. The photo that I'm using (mine) is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 7x6 inch canvas.<p>
<img src="http://i67.tinypic.com/20ih0z7.jpg"><p>
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've gone over those lines in some blue paint. Things are off to a good start.<p>

I have made a number of changes for this week's installment. The foliage has been revised both in front and back of the house. I've also begun the front steps. The building next door has received some paint. Finally, the siding has been overpainted but will likely change again.<p>

This week I will be starting a new painting. It is a house in Pocomoke City, Maryland. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 6x6 inch canvas.<p>
<img src="http://i64.tinypic.com/2a78wnd.jpg"><p>
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 added a little blue paint to get things started.<p>
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.<p>

This week I will be starting a new painting. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below. It is a Cadillac DPi racing car. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 5x7 inch canvas.<p>
<img src="http://i63.tinypic.com/w9vewh.jpg"><p>
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 car to the canvas in an accurate pencil sketch. I've begun to add some base paint on the car and pavement.<p>
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.<p>

This week I will be continuing with the painting of the eastern shore Virginia farmhouse. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 5x7 inch canvas.<p>
<img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/23jg9b5.png"><p>
When last seen the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.<p>
<img src="http://i68.tinypic.com/23mubnb.jpg"><p>
Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.<p>
I had some technical difficulties in the form of fugitive paint, especially in the shadowed porch interior. As such, that area has been overpainted and now appears just a bit darker. The siding, lawn and roof also received some attention.<p>
The painting is now finished.<p>
The current and final state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.<p>

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