PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND PAINTOUT

This is my August entry to Bill Guffey's VIRTUAL PAINTOUT.
I decided to include a couple of photos of my painting process in this post.


This photo shows my pencil sketch with the reference photo on the computer. I preserve the sketch with a spray fixative. Then when I start painting with thin washes of paint the sketch shows though the paint.


Here is the first pass laying in some of the local colors .


Saint Paul's Anglican Parish Hall (14x11 Oil on canvas panel).
It is not signed yet as I like to go over it with one more coat of paint, making minor adjustments. Ref Photo
