THURSDAY W I P

The area above the window has been worked on, but I think it's too dark.  Will have to work on that.

Added more color to the rusty area around the window curve and on the shutters.  Darkened some shadows.

I worked on deepening the shutter shadows and the designs around the side of the window as well as the bricks.

Next a light wash of turquoise on the shutters, a bit more rusty in the arch and added more color to the greenery.

Next I added the shadows and wood where paint had peeled off.

Then I added more of the rusty looking areas in the arch and under the pediments on the sides of the windows.  (Is that the right word for the fancy concrete on the sides?  If anyone knows, let me know!)

2016 ART RETREAT - Final

There was a trip to Cheap Joe's in Boone, and a tour by his niece, Meghan . . .

In Joe Miller's office.

The call center.

Strolling down the aisles in the warehouse.

Part of the shipping department.

A WONDERFUL time was had by all - we can't wait until next year to do it again!
