Bedroom Window #1 (Water Color on Cold Press, 5 in by 7in) |
I happened on to the south side of the house just at the right time on a hot afternoon. Shadows were lovely, brick color and texture were great!
The bricks need some adjustment - and the bright red one needs toned down. Next time I'll paint the rose bushes in the foreground and then mask them off to try and preserve the definition - same with the cottonwood leaves in the upper left. The shadows need some toning down too - they should all be the same depth of blue, maybe wash the brick with yellow.
But for a starting point I was pretty pleased.
