Embassy Court - stage 1

This is an Art Deco building in Hove that I have wanted to paint for some time but could never find an angle on it that I was happy with. Fortunately a friend has moved into a penthouse flat (fabulous views of the seafront) and when I went there to do some life drawing (she has monthly sessions in the flat) I was struck by the views of the building from the back. This is the "drawing" stage using Burnt Sienna with a thin brush. I want this to be contrasty and colourful and quite different to my last painting. Should be good to show at the Brighton Art Fair in September.
