Old Store Commission - WIP
OK, Washer Folks...
My work so far today on this... may end up a "practice" piece.
Approx. 8" x 11" Arches CP, Grumbacher and Da Vinci paints,
Burnt Sienna, Hooker's green, mixed black (what a chore!) to
this point. Oh, and the reference is the old store painting I did
20 years ago... I may be breaking all sorts of rules/norms/traditions...
I just do it as I see it... As always, all C & C gratefully accepted,
maybe acted on, but always filed for future reference. Can't
give a step-by-step cause I'm not sure what the steps are

Re: Old Store Commission - WIP
JO,
It looks like it has a good start.
Who needs steps, ey, just paint.
Do you have a ref photo?

Re: Old Store Commission - WIP
Thanks, Susan, Jenny & JoAnn... Hope
someone comes up with some suggestions.
I am flying blind here... 20 years is too long
to remember what I did and how...

Re: Old Store Commission - WIP
Jo,
Do you have to make this painting exactly like that one, or does just the subject have to be the same?
If you can make changes, I think the sky could be a stronger blue to set the trees against. Also, maybe more variety in the greens on the trees and some air holes (for the birds to fly through) in their canopy.
I love that old gas pump on the right side and the old-timey look to the building.

Re: Old Store Commission - WIP
LOL.. thanks, JT, Sylvia, Alan, JJ... You guys are
SO good at giving encouragement!!
Sylvia, I intend to do it somewhat differently..
especially with the sky and trees (one thing my
instructor did not have us work much on)...
I am avidly reading the Foliage Classroom now...
and all the Skies homework thread...
Funny thing is ... I want the old dilapidated look,
yet I'm finding it hard to retain the white ... this
is a lot more detail work in small areas than I
remembered. But I will forge on ... and see what
my brush tells me today
THANKS, ALL, for looking and commenting... I
noticed I have 9 posts out of 100 viewers

Re: Old Store Commission - WIP
I always liked your storefront painting, Jo, and this one is coming on nicely.
Incidentally, after seeing Shelley's recent house painting I am sold on refletions in window panes and shall try it on my next one. In your case they don't have to be sophisticated, just some indication of a change in tone.
