Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.208

Hello again painting fans.

This week we'll be continuing with our 2 new paintings.

The photos that I will be using are seen directly below. The first photo shows the

Monument Rocks in Kansas. Seen below that photo is one depicting a decrepit 1950 Hudson.

I'll be using my usual acrylics on 8x10 canvases.

For this week's installment, I've continued with the old Hudson.

When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

Since that time I've continued to work on the painting.

I've continued (yet again) to refine the surface of the old Hudson. Unfortunately my son broke his nose earlier this week while at camp and I wasn't able to do much. I have continued to add details to the Hudson including bumpers, tailights and various pieces of chrome trim. The door handles are in place and almost ready to receive the shadows seen in the photo.

Underneath I've added to the wheels and pavement area. The wheels have been defined but will receive further attention in the coming weeks. The roadway and shadow have each been given a further layer of paint. I really like the sunlit ground area though it is not at all like that seen in the photo.

The current state of the painting is seen directly below.

That's about it for now. Next week I'll have more progress to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.207

Hello again painting fans.

This week we'll be continuing with our 2 new paintings.

The photos that I will be using are seen directly below. The first photo shows the Monument Rocks in Kansas. Seen below that photo is one depicting a decrepit 1950 Hudson.

I'll be using my usual acrylics on 8x10 canvases.

For this week's installment, I've continued with the old Hudson. I've gotten stuck in one mode.

When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

Since that time I've continued to work on the painting.

I've continued to refine the surface of the old Hudson. Recently, madame boran moved some of my paints and I discovered a tube of rather bright orange. Using that orange over the existing surface has now made for a nearly perfect simulation of rust. I was amazed at the difference. I will probably add some more to the front fender and a bit more on the rear.

I've also painted in the chrome window moldings and the shadowed interior. For the interior I've used a shade of blue that I mixed just for that purpose. The moldings are done in what is actually a very light shade of blue edged by dark blue.

The current state of the painting is seen directly below.

That's about it for now. Next week I'll have more progress to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.

I've continued to refine the Hudson. Layers of red and ochre have been added to give the impression of rust. The surface is now a uniform reddish brown color.

I've also reshaped the side windows a bit. The separating bar now appears in the backlight. Also making their first appearances are the various seams and body divisions. These will be refined and thinned a bit before the piece is done but at least the placement is fairly accurate.

The current state of the painting is seen directly below.

That's about it for now. Next week I'll have more progress to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.205

Hello again painting fans.

This week we'll be continuing with our 2 new paintings.

The photos that I will be using are seen directly below. The first photo shows the Monument Rocks in Kansas. Seen below that photo is one depicting a decrepit 1950 Hudson.

I'll be using my usual acrylics on 8x10 canvases.

For this week's installment, I've concentrated my efforts on the old Hudson.

When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

Since that time I've continued to work on the painting.

I've continued to add layers of paint to better define the distinctive shape and create the rusty surface that is seen in the photo. First I added a thin layer of blue, then red and finally ochre. I will be making a few changes to it but the current state has a pleasing patina of age.

I've also reshaped the windows and lightened them to provide some visual aid for the additions to come. At this point, the overall shape of the car and windows is nearly how I'd like it to appear.

Finally, the shadow under the car makes it first appearance. However, this is only the first layer of more to come.

The current state of the painting is seen directly below.

That's about it for now. Next week I'll have more progress to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.

Hello again painting fans.

This week we'll be continuing with our 2 new paintings.

The photos that I will be using are seen directly below. The first photo shows the Monument Rocks in Kansas. Seen below that photo is one depicting a decrepit 1950 Hudson.

I'll be using my usual acrylics on 8x10 canvases.

For this week's installment, I've concentrated my efforts on the Monument Rocks.

When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

Since that time I've continued to work on the painting.

I've continued to add to the foreground and sky. The paint is now more solid and almost ready to receive details. I usually leave the sky toward the end. Here I've painted another layer of blue over the first. I want to avoid doing most of the sky after the foreground as has been my usual lazy practice.

In the foreground I've added the outline of the rocks in red. Some of this will likely show in the final painting, but there will be changes before I'm done.

The current state of the painting is seen in the photos directly below.

That's about it for now. Next week I'll have more progress to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.
