Acrylic on Canvas Panel - 14 x 18 Ω
Took some good pictures on my last road trip, so I thought I'd try painting some of 'em. Trying to work bigger now. These are so easy for me on little postcards, but seeming impossible on larger panels. So I must push on.
I got interrupted after doing the initial sketch and blocking in of dark shapes. I did manage to get the sky started and take a photo. Tomorrow I'll get the basic color shapes in and then start refining them. And big brushes only!

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished painting!
ReplyDeletedo they still have the cement factory there?
ReplyDeleteWow. I don't know. They have a great cafe on the side of the highway with a gorgeous view of the ocean. We could see whales from our seats while sipping local brew.
ReplyDeleteThere was also a "dude" next door who was proudly hawking his hand-made surfboards, which he fashions out of 200 year-old redwood. One of those only-in-california moments fer sure.
It was very conspicuous from Highway 1, if u didn't see it, it's gone. this was in the 1950-1960's. I expect land is too valuable now for "factories".
