Real life interrupted part way through painting, so I didn't get as far as I'd hoped. I did manage to work on the very top part of the painting, which I'd been avoiding since it was all very complex architecture. I've got a much better idea of where all the different elements are supposed to go now, though all I really did was lay out the basic shapes of the largest architectural features. I did have to fudge a bit, but I think (hope!) the space will make more sense as I go along. Right now, I'm noticing all the wonky angles and the poor, painted-over columns... I'm not sure how much time I'll have over the next few days, but I hope to snatch bit more time. We also just got two more sets of storage drawers for supplies, so all those wandering materials will finally have a home!

Wow, an Alma Tadema! Not the easiest of painters to tackle! All that detail...But you're doing a great job. I love his work, I have been lucky to have seen much of it.
ReplyDeleteI love the drape of the fabric in the centre figure. Is this 12th scale as well?
Wow...it looks great to me already.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's definitly been a learning experiance. I'm still trying to get the marble columns right... I know they aren't supposed to be blue, but I keep getting stuck with the same wrong look. I'll probobly put it away for a few days or longer because I think a break from it will help me figure out what is going wrong.
