Lighthouse Continues

Last night (Wed.), was the 2nd.
time I worked on my lighthouse.



Here is last night's 2nd. pass at the painting.
Ok ~ I started getting very frustrated last night.
I realized the top "steeple" was off center.
Annnd, that really bugged me ;-/

Well, Thankfully ~ it was time to start cleaning
up to go home.
I couldn't do what I knew I needed to do there.

Today ~ Thursday...I made time
for myself to work on my lighthouse.
I'm happier with it at this point.

*I've got the steeple centered.
(I used a ruler :) ~ that was logical to me.
*I knew I wanted some color interest
in my lighthouse.  
Soooo ~ today I introduced some
 yellow ochre & burnt umber.

Last night, Andrea taught me how to 
use the gradation technique
across a cylinder shape.
I had a LOT of fun with that :)

*Then ~ also today, I added 
some color interest into the
"steeple" & the house roof.
*I also graded the "steeple".

*And ~ last but not least...
I worked on the sky a bit.
I decided I wanted the sky to be
stormy :)
