Away to Dubrovnik Croatia paintalong with Vlad Yesilesev today. Great fun. Lots of mad painting. Vlad was funnier than usual today and he’s always funny. You really should join us.
The photo. Not much to look at as a photo is it?
The value sketch. Vlads. This is what we paint from.
The sketch
First wash. Yellow Ochre alizarin cobalt and card red orange rooftops. Not much paint at all.
Heading down the sidewalk. Sky cerulean cobalt neutral tint and whatever else Vlad decided to toss into the mix.
More washes. Darker ones.
Adding browns and dioxzine purple.
Trees cad yw cobalt ultramarine yellow ochre burnt sienna neutral tint.
And more darks. Scratching out lines. Think I might take some of the purple out of the wall but not til tomorrow.
Wildly painting lines with my sword brush which worked fine today skimming out electric lines without a problem.
Some splatters for crepe Myrtle tree flowers.

Sometimes the shadows in a photo need to be exaggerated. The front boat needs more shadows and contrast on its side. It’s a great painting except for that change.
