Topless - stage 1

This is a girlie bar on a run down road on the outskirts of Detroit. Pretty much every other business around it was closed down with this building standing out from the rest as it was painted bright pink with a red neon arrow on the wall. This will be another in my series of scenes of urban America painted in an atmospheric high-contrast, high-saturation way which I think will be based around a green/blue - red/yellow complementary..ish colour scheme. First stage was "drawn" with an old bristle brush using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and Lukas Number 5 Medium in the morning session and then in the afternoon session a tonal underpainting using the same colours but mixed with Liquin and turpentine was put down using a rag and brushes.
