We go nearly every day to look in on Mom and help her out. This house had sunlight on it and cast shadow on the adjoining house because of the hulking hospital across the street. Toned paper makes unfinished parts invisible! Gouache is great for layers of detail and solid hues. Did the brilliant whites and oranges lead you to Mom’s porch?
Now I see it in the photo, it seems to me the pencil sketch had accuracy that got lost under the paint. (Roof line right side). The fussy details are too much, but I wanted to make my sword brush dance along the railings. I would correct the bay windows. Maybe gouache can help with quick adjustments And testing composition. I do think the shadow and light effect holds its own in spite of that, because the idea works and the values and complementary contrast support the idea.
