Canadian Pacific Railway CP 8856 Powering through Early Snow - background color scheme
smb posted a gallery image in Member's own albums
From the album: Have a go!
This is the first stage of the painting. I made the background color scheme by blocking-in the main colors with soft pastels on heavy, course-grained watercolor paper - and then going over the different areas with clean water on a paint brush in order to make a watercolor wash effect. I am basing this painting on a really nice photo by Jim Winsor. http://www.facebook.com/jim.winsor.75 Photo used as reference material with Jim's very kind permission. The original photograph on which this painting will be based, can be down-loaded at: http://www.photoartf...ailway-cp-8856/ The photo was taken in October 2011 and Jim writes: "This was so far the most significant snowfall we have had yet this year. I braved the elements today to capture this rare for me image of such a beauty. I arrived at this location and it was dull and overcast which soon gave way to a lite blowing snowfall. This beauty could be heard off in the distance and low and behold out of the blowing snow she came."© © Jim Winsor

I thought the painting was already finished at this stage... Then I noticed that the window glass was just a bit too clean... (I wish I could get mine to look like that!!) -
The first stage of the as-yet untitled pastel painting that I just started

This painting was conceived in my imagination - my first painting ever, that has not been based on a photograph. See the entry regarding this painting on my blog at: A blank sheet of paper springs to life with something from my imagination!
