Early Morning Montidinove work in progress |
Early Morning Montidinove |
I wanted the foreground building on the right to be in a darker shadow (and it actually is darker than it's showing up here) so I washed over the whole area with a mixture of Indigo (blue-black) and Quinacridone Red Violet. I then restated the texture. I also adjusted the perspective of the window sills. Then painted over the shrubs and flowers.
The dark shadow area on the street is not black but a combination of Indigo and Burnt Umber. For the cobblestones in that area I just added white. For the cobblestones in the sunny areas I washed the street with a lighter mix of the cobblestone color, then lightened it up with Titanium White and Naples yellow to add the cobblestone texture.
I brightened up the pink house a bit with Vermillion+Titanium White and added some white to lighten up the house next to it.
I see a few more bits I need to tweek, mostly small details but I am very pleased with how this painting is turning out.
