Renaming this so that it ties in better with the painting that it is a study for, "Dawn of the Hamadryad". Although slightly unwilling to add colour to stage 1 as I quite liked it as it was I nevertheless ran some washes of transparent colours over it as I need to try out the look for it that I have in my head. I used thin washes of Ultramarine Blue, Indian Yellow, Magenta and Permanent Sap Green all mixed with plenty of Liquin. I stopped at this point this afternoon as I need to consider where I go from here. I think I need to bring in some red into the tree (Using Alizarin Crimson for this) and keep the green more subtle as I go up the trunk - I will make the final decision over coffee tomorrow morning!
After the washes I started working into the tree with a mix of Permanent Sap Green and Alizarin Crimson.
