Another winning formula, Alan. This current series are seriously good. I love the crisp lights and darks again.

How do you make buildings look so believable Alan :)

Posted by Carole Swingler on Thu 20 Oct 09:53:16

Thanks for the comments so far, well Carole, I'm not sure that I do, after posting this effort I didn't particularly like it but with buildings it's all about depth which I create by being bold with my tonal values and dropping on more layers until I'm happy with it. (which is never of course).

Wonderful painting, Alan. I like colours and depth, and I find your last paintings have a terrific 3D effect.

I like this one too Alan. Ann speaks for me also when she describes the 'crisp lights and darks.' Simple and effective which after all is your 'mantra!'

Thank you Alan for you explanation, I also think your straight lines help, my efforts always lean maybe I should use a ruler? :))
