Pretty similar to working from photo, but there's still that study of light and color that happens with that original painting.Victoria Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246081524999113865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710962761857009360.post-52972230355417823782010-07-20T10:06:56.409-07:002010-07-20T10:06:56.409-07:00This is beautiful!

One of the issues for me is I'm trying to capture light and the light changes too quickly. A photo freezes the moment allowing me the time to work.Stephen Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524521194226363882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710962761857009360.post-31238866872874995442010-07-19T23:18:43.110-07:002010-07-19T23:18:43.110-07:00I love this!

I love urban architecture painting in general but the sweeping curves of the bridges are just fantastic, adding a bit of futuristic space to urban grit.<br /><br />And...you use photographs rather than painting on site. Why are painters so intent on only painting on site ("plein air") or directly from a model? What if the model is unavailable or you don't have space or opportunity to paint on an urban vantage point?Pyracanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889551823810311793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710962761857009360.post-24934414016888741102010-07-19T13:27:32.173-07:002010-07-19T13:27:32.173-07:00Great composition Stephen.
