Midnight Keep - stages 4 - 6

Stage 4

I wanted to block in a lot of colour today so that I can see where it's going. The first stage was to get some sky painted in with mixes of King's Blue Light, Phthalocyanine Blue and Green, Permanent Orange and Lemon Yellow. I decided that it would look more interesting if I put in some clouds after originally seeing it as a cloudless sky. In stage two I blocked in the distant mountains with the moonlight hitting the ice on the peaks and lower lying clouds. 
In stage three I blocked in most of the rest of the painting with transparent mixes of Phthalocyanine Blue and Burnt Sienna. This now gives me a good idea of the general look of the painting and want to leave it now and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow morning.
