Work In Progress: First Baptist Church Jackson, MS - Part2

If you've been following the church painting, you'll be glad to know that I am almost finished. Here is the latest stage of progress:

You can see more depth of color in the trees, on the building, more shading on the building, a nre red tree on the corner in front of the church...lots of new things going on from when we last looked at this painting. The next post of this one will probably be the finished product, and I'll try and have a nice, high resolution picture so you can see more detail. What do you think about this one? Any comments?

Work In Progress: First Baptist Church Jackson, MS

This is a painting of First Baptist Church in Jackson, MS that I have been working on for about a month now. A lot of people have asked to see what my paintings look like before they are complete, so here are a few different shots along the way.


This is the first step of the painting, where I sketch my lines in oil. I let my canvas dry after each step before I move on.

This is kind of rough-in stage, where I'm trying to get a lot of texture on the canvas.

Now it's starting to take shape, and you can see more shading and depth in the painting. At this point, I'm probably a little over halfway done.

I'll try and keep you posted on this one as I move along so that you can see how a painting comes together from start to finish. At some point I will do a work-in-progress post featuring one of my more abstract paintings as well.
