WIP

[Perry]

Thought I would do a WIP with this one.
Below is the photo I am using for reference.
I changed the layout a little to fit the paper.
I really like the light and shadow affects in the photo.
I completed the drawing and the first pass with the paint.
I noticed my perspective is off a little so I will fix that
and try to get some more color and texture in it.
C&C welcome

 

[Donna T]

Lookin’ good, Perry. Those graceful shapes are just begging to be painted.

 

[snoball]

Great start, watching....

 

[Jo Castillo]

Waiting ... looking good.

 

[Triduana]

Looking good! I love arches and I love strong shadows, so this appeals to me.

 

[Artyczar]

Looks excellent!

 

[Aspenman]

Thus far it is lookin great!!

 

[Perry]

Thanks everyone for looking in.
I think I might be done.
I lightened the shadows some and cropped it a little
I'll let it sit for a couple of days and look at it.
C&C welcome

 

[Terri]

I love your arch! Such serene colors. It's taken on an abstract style!

 

[Donna T]

I like the abstract style of this too! I also admire the way you applied your own color scheme and didn’t feel obligated to use what the photo provided. It turned out great!

 

[Artyczar]

I love this more!

 

[Perry]

Terri, Donna and Arty Thank you very much.
I think I'm going to leave it as is.

 

[snoball]

It stands alone but after you think on it some more you may want to deepen the shadows and you could even add details. There are so many directions you could take this if you wanted to. But like I said, it stands alone and is very good.

 

[Perry]

Thanks Sno, I had a difficult time with those shadows.
I had them darker and they looked too dark.
And I decided on this value. I'm still not sure about them.
I might add some more detail later on. Not sure yet.
I'll look again next year.
