Next Town Square

Angela Josephine - painting in progress for Good Work Collective Art News
Posted by Angela Josephine Category: Art, News

Great things are happenings at The Good Work Collective in Traverse City!  As part of the NEXT TOWN SQUARE community brainstorm project, artists have been in painting 4′ x 4′ panels.  I chose to do a Lake Michigan shoreline scene entitled “Echo the Shore”.  It’s for sale along with works by the other artists and part of the proceed will go to benefit the collective.

Here’s a bit of the process…

I sketched out the general shape of the major elements, first in pencil and then using large, house paint brushes (via Home Depot – no need for fancy here) filling in with some base color… in essence, sketching with paint.

In the beginning...

I then built layers to create motion, depth and vibrancy. (Featured photo) It’s a tricky process and I’ve never worked on a painting of this scale.  Admittedly, I get into the zone and lose track of my surroundings. I’ll “wake up” to crazy things that have happened in the lapse. This time I discovered a path from my Converse treads, neatly stamped in sandy-colored paint across the hardwood floor. “Angela was here!”

The finished painting!  Like it?  Want to take it home?   You’d be getting some original art and supporting a good cause.  Let me know if you are interested.  The price may be negotiable on this one.
