Rig

I used the same paint mix of Prussian Blue, Winsor Green and Permanent Orange thinned with Liquin as the previous picture on "Rig". I first mixed up acrylic Titanium White and Cadmium Yellow Light for the ground and this time gave it a coat of Liquin when it had dried to see if that would prevent the paint lifting off when I am using turpentine to rub away highlights etc.
I was thinking of using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet for this one but I decided I wanted to see how this looked first; in fact I will be using the brown/violet on the lemon backing on another painting about to be started.
I am kind of regretting having the oil rig there now and think it would have been better as just a sky and landscape, to which end I will be trying this out on the upcoming painting I have just mentioned.
The location is the vast landscape of Texas.
I think that I will be renaming this series "The Big Sky" as "Roadside Apocalypse" was going to be limiting me in terms of subject matter, now the theme is the American landscape itself.
