Artisan Alley with Four Artists

This week our little painting group went to Artisan Alley in DeLand, Fl. If you come on a Friday evening this place is teeming with people buying and selling at the farmers market. It's a different and much quieter story on a Tuesday during the early morning hours.

Florida sunshine being as intense as it is in the summer we arrive by 7:30, quickly choose our subject, do a value sketch, and begin painting. I'm painting on a 11"x 14" canvas board that I textured with super heavy gesso.


Here are a series of photos in progress.

Let the tweaking begin!
