Today's painting is of these two buildings in bright sunlight. There is a beautiful shadow across the lane cast by the trees which are out of frame.
The bright white buildings with the cast shadows and dark green surrounding shines in the light. Getting the light and shadows right is the key in this painting.
Sketch:
This is more of a one point perspective and can see the lines converging to a point on the street. The sketch needed to be precise on this.
Started with the sky and the background green. Then the buildings and finally the tree in foreground.
Details:
The violet tends to lighten when dry, the shadows needed to be little more darker. Otherwise it looks fine
