Meenakshi Green - stage 1

This a bright green building attached to the outside of the Shri Meenakshi temple in Madurai, India that I visited in 2012. Again I want a soft image with strong shapes to which end I have put the first stage in with a rag using a mix of Burnt Sienna, Dioxazine Purple and Alizarin Crimson thinned with Liquin and turpentine. This also of course gives me a tonal underpainting that sorts out any composition issues before I start using colour.
