Yesterday I decided to try painting inside from photos for a while. I'm running out of places to go to paint where there won't be lots of people around. And I love the alleys in my neighborhood. I just wish they were all as colorful as this one. It's right next to the Sweet Life Patisserie looking east.
I just got these 8"x 8" panels from Raymar and I think I'm going to like this size for urban landscapes.
A couple problems I had: I couldn't really see the color of the shadow side of these buildings in the photo. I hope to go there tomorrow morning to get that right. The electric lines, I don't know how to do them. I tried scratching them in but I was too shakey for it to work out. I guess I'll use a liner brush once it's dry but that's not the solution I'm looking for.
Phemie, I recognized the alley immediately! I often stop by Sweet Life for a cup of coffee on my way to work, and drive through this alley.
ReplyDeleteWonderful job! I love this painting!
