Alan Summer 2026-1

 Finished the booze painting on Yupo. Added some dark values into the bottles and lightened some of the whites and creams.


Finished the Clock Tower on the lakefront. I did it on Yupo because I wanted brighter values in it. I zoomed in a bit from my previous version and, while I like it, it’s not really what I’m looking for. 


So I’m doing a larger Yupo version with a looser brush. A long way to go.  Maybe I’ll live with the tilt.  I’m trying to let the paint flow on this larger version  

While I am waiting for the paint to dry on the Yupo version, I’m trying a little pen and ink version in a sketchbook.

It’s always good to have another painting to do when you’re working on Yupo.

  1. I'm always a fan of series paintings, especially when they include different media and/or supports. You're zooming in ever closer on these. What exactly are you looking for? I think the darker values on the bottles works very well—in fact, you could add even darker values—and on the clock tower as well.
