In Progress

                                                                           


As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've always loved this conglomeration of rooflines at the Boyd place down the road. So finally, I decided to have a go at painting them.

This is in progress- a few shadows are missing, and some colors need deepening. Actually, I may scrap it and try again--trying to be more precise. a lot of the edges aren't as clean as I'd like.

I left out the red truck in the picture below because the rooflines were what I wanted to concentrate on. And I left out that white rectangle behind the house--it's another roof of another building but doesn't really read as such. 

This is very much a learning exercise, and an enjoyable one.

Looks good to me. The joy of painting must be to create how you wish. If a photographer were to remove an object in edit, they might be accosted by the purity police.

Great try for roof picture. Painting edges with watercolor is a trip. It is a loose medium and those are tight lines! Keep it up!

Not an easy scene to paint. You're doing well.
