This time Rusty had us do architecture in the landscapes. I have one barn that I did that I really like. It has some angry clouds in the sky, and I tried to listen to Terry and paint with the other side of my brain. I tried to do some shapes instead of outlines. I did the shapes for the shaded side of the roof and then did lines to fill in the borads for the sunny sides. There is also a fence in the background of this one. I did a wash on the sky and ground and then used a Viva papertowel to remove the sky for the clouds. I put the barn ontop of the washes so you can see through the lines of wood, adding an interesting technique.

My other architecture is another barn close up with two other buildings, maybe barns, in the background. These barns are sitting ontop of a small grass hill. I also tried on this one to use Terry's addvice and make shapes and let the imagination finish the shape. I did the same thing as I did with the other barn and blocked in color for the roof and then made lines for the planks of wood. The buildings in the background I tried to only do the roof and one side. This didnt work out the best, however, because youcan see the wash under the side that I didnt do. Meaning those buildings look as though they are floating or the side is invisible, you can choose whichever you like better! I think out of all of the assignments we have done so far that this is my least favorite. I have decided that I dont really like to paint architecture.
