Cavana House

I am lucky to live a few doors down from the Cavana House, a spa and former inn. It's a beautiful red brick Victorian house with beautifully kept gardens. I have taken many photos and done a couple of watercolours over the years.



6x6 Acrylic on Masonite

I'm getting the hang of the masonite board. This time I sketched the main areas, and instead of a nid toned underpainting, I applied a dark and mid tone to the major areas. This way the white is left white. It worked; I didn't have to paint the lighter areas with multiple coats to cover the paint beneath.

I am feeling a little better, and I like this painting better than the last three. Maybe being sick and feverish really does affect your ability to paint.
