Nightwatch - stage 3

The first colour pass on the landscape of "Nightwatch" was roughly painted on using a mix of Ultramarine Violet, Prussian Blue, Pale Violet, Permanent Sap Green and Transparent Red Oxide (to tone down the saturation). I then erased the street lights etc with a small bristle brush tipped in clean turpentine. This gives a soft focus effect and I will try and maintain this so that when it comes to painting the spaceship I will keep that relatively sharp so that you get a good sense of distance between the ship and the landscape. I want the setting to be late dusk so that it is not too dark.
