Personal Project; Entry for the 6/09/2015

House painting

 I choose a creamy color for the front of this building.

 I then started painting the base colors for the rest of the parts, Light brown for the window frames, an off-yellow for the skirting.

 In this set i have chosen to not cut out every window and paint a few of them, this helps break a repetitive cycle and adds some more color into the composition.

 The painted windows.

 For the rocks i simply painted a drybrush of grey onto them.

 I asked sarah what is a good name for a pub and one of the answers was the Hair of the dog and so that was the one i choose.

 I used an old Christmas light and painted the top and bottom black leaving the clear-yellow middle showing. Now i have an effective looking outside light for the bar.

 I am unsure of the painted symbol of the dog and may change this at a later point.

 The grey wall was another piece i worked on today.

 Starting a new section at the moment.  The colors with these houses are very similar but each have a distinctive style to them. Here the Tudor style is mixed with a heavy medieval arch.

 A close up of the painted doors, these will be further developed tomorrow.

 Fine wire-work embellishes the archway.

 A top view of the parts of the alleyway set that i have been working on.

 I am thinking of using some of these roof tiles to hang over the edge of the buildings, i feel that this will help the work feel more complete than without them.

 The curtains are made from a plastic bag with a stripey design.  The rail is simply an old bit of wire.

 The windows are cut (see above) ready to be  placed into the wall.(see below)
