The Cabin Painting Grows

On Wednesday, I left you with this cliff hanger of a picture:

This is the next view:

And this is how it looked when it was getting a little too dark to see out in the painting workshop.

Now it is time to show the customer before I do any more detail work. That large tree on the right needs more work, and I’m a little fuzzy about the foreground. The photos don’t offer much help. I also want to add lines to indicate shingles on the roof.

More will be revealed in the fullness of time. . .

Earning the Big Bucks Painting a Cabin

This is how it looked the last time we discussed the back country cabin in Kings Canyon National Park.

“We discussed”? Who is this we? Um, well, me. I thought it looked sort of fakey with just 2 thunderheads.

No worries. The sky dried enough that I could add more. And notice the added detail to the face of the cabin. This is so fun to paint!

See the corner detail? Log cabins have very busy and intricate corners. This little part took a long time to figure out what I was seeing, and how to make the light be correct. In the photos, there are people in the way and they cast shadows. I have to figure out which shadows are from them, and then eliminate those shadows, along with figuring out what should be showing behind the people.

That’s why I get paid the big bucks.

Hahaha, heheheh. . . hooey, that was a good one! 😎
