I have too many painting ideas at the moment and I can’t decide what to get started on, while the other part of me feels guilty for leaving the depanneur (that’s Quebec-French for Convenience Store) painting behind – I hate when that happens – Since I couldn’t make-up my mind on what winterscape project to get started on, I figured that I might as well work on the depanneur and I feel much better now.
In this session I refined the details on the balcony above the door, I clarified the shapes of light and shadows on the sidewalk and worked on the doorway’s steps that were just roughly painted in the previous session.
By working on the steps, I realized that I made a mistake in the original drawing, where the wall on the right meets the steps at the same level that it does meet the sidewalk. That of course affected the bicycle that I had to carefully re-draw in order to keep my lines.
I’m starting to really like that bicycle now. I like the way that it is taking shape, session after session.
