Today's painting project - work in progress.

Tweet

This is today's painting project work in progress. It is a street scene in Provence, similar to the one I did in art class in the summer, but slightly different. I chose two different pictures when I was at art class, then I chose which one I wanted to do. The other one I took home to try at a later date, and this is it! So I drew out the picture first on Monday night and then again last night and this afternoon I started on the actual painting. I got out my little heater because the heating's playing up and I thought I'd be very cold with my short sleeved painting blouse on. Then I started on my painting. I did the sky first, then left it to dry. While it was drying I checked my phone and I got a text from Paul saying he would let me know shortly when he can come round to see my latest masterpieces! When most of the blue was dry I painted the buildings and the street with an underpainting of yellow ochre. (Or ochre yellow as it said on my tube!) And now I'm just waiting for that to dry! I will start to add more colour in a minute when the underpainting is all dry. What are you lot getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.
