Project 9 (subject to change) 22nd August. The up-garden angled landscape. My aim here is to paint the ‘back’ of the painting, this time going from dark to light as if the image were in such full, bright sunlight that … Continue reading Bottom to top/Exposure
Primary reference photo Adjusted reference photo (PhotoDirector) This is A1 black card prepped with black acrylic gesso. This will give me the dead-black background I need for the lit foliage, and the white areas are the base for colour underlays … Continue reading Gardenscape #1
First sketch – watercolour pencil on damp acrylic gesso. 7th August. I’m one Bambi short of a Disney at this stage! This is the bright underpainting, the network of subtext colours that will support the heavier ones to follow. All … Continue reading Gardenscape2 (project 8)
