This painting, while based on a photo I took in London, will not be photo-real. I sometimes aim for that with architectural paintings, but I’m going for something looser this time. Something a bit more suggestive. And that’s a struggle for me, as I definitely have control issues when it comes to painting. Maybe elsewhere, too, but that’s a subject for another day.
Anyhoo – session 2 found me working on mere suggestions of architectural details. I didn’t want to try and paint the actual building, but I did want to fool the eye into filling in the blanks. There’s a long way to go, but I’m digging the experience.
Here’s your peek behind the curtain for session 2:
Sorry – still not a toilet behind the upside-down man’s butt.
