Time- lapse Acrylic Painting of an Alley

Another time-lapse of step by step painting. I look at a photo of a scene I like, sketch it onto a canvas with a brush and begin to render by building up the layers of paint. Starting with thinner more diluted dark colors helps to establish the contrast in the work. Little by little I would apply progressively more "fat" thicker paint marks using a palette knife.
