Up On The Hill


Doing some "portraits" of big houses near my tiny apartment in Magnolia for an upcoming show. Driving home from a just completed sketch, I was waved down by someone who recognized my '77 Chevy Nova. "You should draw my fiancé's house," he said, pointing down a sloping driveway. "It's pretty unique." On the next sunny day, I just might do that.

  1. So fascinating, Steve! How long did it take you to sketch and paint each house? Glad the sun was out!

  2. Carleen- About an hour and a half for the contours (on site), another hour for shading (only partly on site), then the color goes on fast- about half an hour (at home). Three hours all told.

  3. These are fun Steve. Are they watercolor?
