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.
