I continued to work on this oil bar painting today. I am painting this grape arbor, working from a photo that I took at Long Hill Gardens, here in Beverly, MA. Today I started with adding more pale blue (sky) in the lower right part of the canvas. I also mixed up some lighter green, starting to differentiate the leaves. As I worked, I tried to define where the branches are and corral the grapes that are out of place. It was almost time to stop when I tackled the shape of the arbor itself. I used red to try to see the perspective more clearly. The perspective is still yet not correct--but I hope to fix that tomorrow, and then I will correct the color.
