Lonely Street - stage 2

As this picture will be very much about light and shade I decided to put a wash over the whole painting of a mix of Burnt Sienna and Transparent Maroon thinned with Liquin and turpentine. I did this as I want to design the painting around pools of light set against areas of shade as well as the focal point of the red wall. I can now establish early on where the light areas will be for a strong but simple design within a potentially complicated picture. The rest of the day was spent repainting part of an earlier picture called "Mermaid's Storm" as I was not happy with it and felt it needed rescuing if it is to be taken to Illuxcon.
