"8 Houses in 12 Years"
Step One 8

This project was the largest I have painted so far. I had to order a roll of Wallis sanded paper that was 51" wide. I had it drymounted to an acid-free foam core board. After studying my reference photo, I decided to tint my paper an orange. I like to work with an orange base when I have a lot of greens.

Three more houses to go. One on the lower left and two on the right.
