I love old, traditional buildings! I had a lot of fun going up to Salt Lake City and taking pictures of the historic architecture there. This painting is of the Beehive House all dressed up for the holidays. I still feel like my painting skills leave a lot to be desired (this isn’t nearly as good as the one I painted in my head!) but it was fun to make all the same.
As always, I drew out my picture with pencil and start with a yellow glaze, then blue then red. On this painting I tried some glazes with a couple different colors.
…still building up glazes…
Adding details…
And finally, trying to work out some better light/dark contrasts. Still not sure if I love it, but there it is 🙂
I think the house looks beautiful. I so admire anyone who can draw or paint. what a wonderful talent. thanks for sharing the painting.
