Painting Architecture in Your Landscape Painting

Painting houses, barns, or other structures can be a bit tricky if you don't do a few things first. Most often the details of the structure get in the way, so that's not where we want to start the painting.

I love it when something that I might view as complicated can be broken down into simpler elements. Thank you!

'Value is more important than colour'... Well said. Value does all the work, but colour gets all the praise.

In the last photo, there seems to be great deal of orangey, reflected light on the ceiling and walls of the porch. This would leave me wondering what to do. Would you paint that as it appears or make it darker and cooler as you would expect it to be under there?

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Rich, I would first block in the shadow with a cool, muted color, blue or blue violet with a little orange. Then while it’s still wet, I would scrub in a little more orange slightly lighter to show the reflected light. Hope that’s helpful.
