Moonlight Encampment - stage 1

This is just a small painting to get on with while I get things ready for Illuxcon which I am hoping to finish in time to bring along as an unframed painting for sale to put on the table. My plan is to take it over in my hand luggage in a bag as it is easily small enough. The painting is of the Taj Mahal mostly in silhouette with a moonlit sky behind it, a boat is drawn up to the river's edge, a small group of people   sit around a fire on the shore, an orange glow from the firelight complementing the blue in the sky. This is my usual wash-in with a rag using a mixture of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and turpentine.
