Notre Dame




I'm starting on the West wall. Right now I'm working to the right of the dresser in the previous post's "before" picture.


I start by sketching the building in raw umber. I've got photo reference taped all over the place. Good googly moogly, those Europeans put a wicked amount of detail in their architecture. As I'm starting to really look at the photo reference, I'm thinking this is going to take longer than I had anticipated.
After sketching, I washed a thin glaze of Burnt Umber over the entire building and the sky...varying the amount of glaze here and there and adding some white for clouds in the sky.
Now I can start the fun part...detailing out the architecture.
