| I've started on the goose. And for the background, I put in a wet, thin wash of aureolin, and then drizzled thin strips of a green mixture with vertical strokes to suggest grass. |
 |
| This photo, and the ones below, are some references I'd like to use for the Vancouver scene. It's of the Burrard Street Bridge, one of three bridges connecting Vancouver south with the downtown core. For me, the view of the water, the mountains and the old bridge give a strong sense of the city. I like the softening effect of the fog. |
 |
| Slightly different angle, and I LOVE that old ship in front. |
 |
| I'd like to get the colors of sunset in the painting. |
 |
| Another angle. I like the feel this photo creates of looking up at the massiveness of the bridge. |
 |
| Vancouver really is beautiful - over-developed, but beautiful. |
I bet you know how much we love that goose! He is soooo happy! And we feel it!
ReplyDeleteDrizzling paint sounds magical!

Hi Kathryn! I love the background of the goose! Beautiful photos of Vancouver, I'm looking forward to the painting you are going to compose of these!
ReplyDeleteThe Goose is looking fantastic! Apart from his posture, I just love that background!
ReplyDeleteMy friends brother emigrated to Vancouver a few years ago. I've heard it's beautiful. The night scene at the bottom is so atmospheric. It would make a lovely painting :0)
I think you are on a goose trip in your paintings and I wish you dont come across any goose bumps. LOL. The first washes are very clean and looks good.
ReplyDeleteAnd in the reference pics I really like the foggy one. It creates a very romantic kind of mood and I think you should paint that one for sure.
Your watercolor is coming along beautifully!...and those photos are really amazing! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe goose is coming along well. Love the pictures of the bridge ... did I tell you my cousin lives in Vancouver? Never met her though.
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are lovely. The goose seems to be on the right track. I am sure it is going to end up into a nice painting.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
I'm glad you found time to do some painting . Vancouver looks like an awesome city and you are heading towards some beautiful but quite difficult subjects . XX
ReplyDelete5 paintings, plus the goose! ( which is going very well) youre gonna be busy cause all the Vancouver photos are great.
