House on the Corner


In Brooklyn where I live it's all about the brownstones and brickstones. This corner house I painted early one morning last week when it wasn't raining. I just liked the composition w/ tree, fence and row houses behind it. It's kind of a challenge to get a good 'brick' color, lit by the sun. I think the recipe is just adding a little yellow ochre to cad red and white... with a tad bit of cadmium green light....any other recipes out there for good sun-baked brick color?
