Siren's Cove - stage 1

Using the same format as "Pool Of The Naiad" this one is of a mermaid lying on a rock with her lyre who has just spotted a ship approaching her cove. I am setting it at dusk so the colours will be variations on blues, violets, pinks and a touch or two of green and turquoise. I don't want it to go too dark and intend to keep the values in the middle range with the strong design and romantic colouring giving it visual interest, I don't envisage any bright highlights or deep shadow. This stage was washed in with a rag using Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with turpentine and Liquin.
