More Painting

This is another work in progress inspired by painting with photos.  I was pretty pleased with my results from painting the Truro cottages so I am working on another.  Here is the original photo:


I thought it would be more challenging and since there are more details, I am making it 18 x 24.  I like the purple shadow in the sheet and the dark line of the blue ocean.  Here is step one:


I did a red underpainting and per what I am learning, I started with the darkest darks and then went on to the lights.  I was not happy with the roof line so I scrubbed it out.  I also did a grid to get a better drawing which I think worked out but it also confused me.  More to see tomorrow.
