Started "Ulapalakua Store" painting in acrylics today. Buildings always take longer, it took 2.5 days to make the drawing. I have decided to paint a foggie, rainy day since that is the normal weather in Ulapalakua. |
| First and second day, drawing with charcoal.
 |
Third day, converted the charcoal drawing to a light blue outline. Clean it up at and night and full coat of jar white to make the paint slide. Start adding color.
 |
| Day 3, six hours adding color
 |
Shirly Dumo of Kanaio is painting with me using water soluble oil.
 |
| Day 4,
It has been very tricky to get the details of the building, there are so many trees in the way.
 |
Day6, 7-11-9
I got some rain today and painted in the road. Added the sky reflection on the wet roof. Started the trees with 2 coats of white. where some of the highlights are. Then the first coat of color. Finished the grill stack
 |
| Day 7.
Someone had parked in my space today so I painted 8' to the left. Yea it was bad.. but my drawing is finished so it wasn't a total loss and I did get some rain about 4:00 this afternoon. The trees were the object for today, I would really like to keep the pure blue next to the roof because I do like to have a set of pure complements, yellow and blue would be nice. Look at what a wash of yellow ocher did for the road.

Day 8,
Christy is helping me proof read my web site so I an taking a few days off. I'm also repainting my van with One Shot paint, it has lead in the colors so the color will last longer. The painting still isn't 100% covered with paint, that's when I feel I half way finished. Ok, I drove out there, 30 minutes and painted this morning. There was no rain like I had hoped for but it was cloudy so I got 3 hours of painting in. I worked on the background and foreground trees. I'm just about half-way finished.
 |
| Day 9
3 hours working on the trees. The sky is clearing, I'm going home.
