Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.667

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the Tudor-style Victorian in Goshen, NY. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below along with a photo that shows the house in less glaring light. 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.

In the sprint to the final version there have been a number of changes. At the top, the roof has been darkened a bit. On the ground level left, the tree to the far rear has been given some additional paint. It now has a more solid appearance. Finally, both the sky and road have been revised. The painting is now finished.

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.

Earlier paintings in this series can be seen here. (Currently under reconstruction.)

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.666

Hello again painting fans.

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 have done some work on a few different areas on the canvas. First, the path has been repainted as well as the hedge. I've attempted to have an appropriate shadow to the hedge. Next, I've refined the roof dormer. Finally, I've refined the roof and shadows above the first floor and porch.

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

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.665

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be continuing with the Tudor-style Victorian in Goshen, NY. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below along with a photo that shows the house in less glaring light. 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.

There are a number of changes for this week's cycle. Most apparent amongst these is the faux half-timbering in the front-facing gable and dormer. It is what gives this house much of its character. Note the window details, siding and overpainted chimneys. Finally, the roof has been repainted.

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.

For this week's cycle I have continued to work exclusively on the house itself. Note the deep blue shadows. I've begun the lit brown areas of the house as well. These colors will change a bit before I'm done with the painting. You can begin to see the nice contrast these colors make.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.660

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will eb starting a new painting. It's a rare Tudor-style Victorian in Goshen, NY. Note the faux half-timbering in the front-facing gable and dormer. The photo that I'm using is seen directly below along with a photo that shows the house in less glaring light. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 8x10 inch canvas.

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 am pleased. Things are off to a good start.

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.
