Painting with Friends in Morgan Hill


I went painting in Morgan Hill with some old SJSU friends: Noah, Jackson, Dela, Nikki, Kendelle, Scott, and Jules. I managed to paint this old building in downtown. I'm finding architecture a bit of a struggle to create in plein air, but I plan to keep working on it. I think the secret is to treat it as shapes and colors just like anything else rather than try to do an architectural rendering in such a short time.

I think this really tuned out nice. I think you had a breakthrough, you now seem to be fining large shapes instead of trying to paint everything separately.
Great work.

Looks great Ron. I know you had told me that painting architecture isn't your strong point, but looking at this piece, you made it look easy. Keep going! j
