oil on panel
You can view this painting here.
This is painted on black gessoed panel. That's not a typical choice for landscapes, although painters often use it for still lifes. It does lend a certain darkness to the painting, even with bright colors on top. I like the way the color stands out on the black, and I find it easier to gauge values this way.

| A fairly detailed sketch, in white colored pencil. A few blue lines to indicate shadow areas. |

| Putting in the light values first. It looks pretty cool just like this, doesn't it? |
 |
| Shaded areas and shadows added - very blurry photo. Now just some details left and a few adjustments. I had this sitting on the mantelpiece for a full day before I realized I never painted in the walkways! |
