I finished this one up yesterday. At least I think I did! It took a little while to paint this one and it is possible that I may go back in for some touch ups.
This painting was worked in sections and uses a limited color palette. The painting started as a sketch which I kept clean in order to refer to during my sessions. Very helpful. The best part though of this process is the technological component of painting that I discovered. I know that a lot of people paint by looking at a picture on their computer monitor; nothing wrong with that but I have a hard time getting a good look at the image this way. So, I took my USB stick and plugged it into the TV in my studio. I was able to look at the larger image from a distance while I was painting. For close up work, I just referred to my sketch or the print out of my picture. The whole thing worked really well.
OK, I am off for a walk. Let me know what you think if you can.

I love this painting and appreciate the tip.
ReplyDeleteI love this one, Libby. Something about the white building, cool blue shadows and red roof. Very crisp! Also love the name and the sign!
