Starting To Add Some Color!
A likeness of Curtis Light
There are many lighthouses in Maine. This painting is centered around Curtis Light which is just outside Camden Harbor. This painting is not meant to be
an exact copy but rather a gently likeness.
My customer loves whaling and ships. Like many of my paintings, this is a fictional rendition of a time back in the mid 19th century.
I started to draw and realized that I didn't want the painting to have pea sized buildings so I went BIG with the scale. You can sort of get an idea of HOW big in the picture below.
The buildings are larger than I had drawn out on my thumbnail sketches, but I felt it was necessary. I think it makes for better composition, especially when viewing from any distance.
This could be a painting just as it is featured in the above cropped version. However, it is just a snippet of a larger piece. Tomorrow, if I have time, I want to show you some more
pictures of what I have completed. If I don't post tomorrow, it will be Monday!
As I paint, I will add layer upon layer until the oversized folky bricks sort of disappear and are not as obvious. This is the very start of the painting.
Tune back in for more... maybe tomorrow!
Enjoy!
