Just finished this painting. There is an old mining museum about five miles north of Colorado Springs. This old barn is one of several. I took several photos of the progress on this one. I have always enjoyed seeing the way other artists work.

Getting a feel for shapes and composition. Yellow ochre, raw sienna, Cadmium red medium and Cad yellow. Here I wanted to start getting the window established and values.
I worked out from the window, adjusting as I go. Using fast drying acrylic allows multiple layers quickly. Dry brushing and using a hair spray bottle to keep paints from drying out on my pallet, the details in the grass and rough sawn lumber in the barn is indicated. I love the ragged rotted bottom with ochres. The deep blacks and summer grass/ wild flowers are nice over the deep green underpainting in the foreground.



Gratefully,
Greg
