Another trial from dark to light. I like this way to start with the darks, let it dry and “paint” in very fluid washes, let colour drop in the water and watch, how the picture paints itself. The last step is putting the darkest darks into and wash some highlights out. It is a technique I have seen by Marc Folly and I get inspired to try his technique in my own pictures. It was a rainy, overcast early evening and I like these old, shabby structures, which tell their own story.
Thank you Birgit for the insight into your approach with this painting. I like the finished product and agree with Erik re the granulation. It gives lovely texture to the building. Great!!
