So here is the first colour pass on the sky and distant hills after deciding this morning over coffee to base it around violet varying it from the blue side to the red side with it's complementary yellow used in the clouds. The sky was painted with mixes of Kings Blue Light, Permanent Orange, Ultramarine Violet, Pale Violet, Zinc White, Warm White, Lemon Yellow and Lead Tin Yellow Lemon - all Michael Harding paints.
I then made up a mix of Burnt Sienna, Winsor Violet and Permanent Orange thinned with Liquin and rubbed in a transparent glaze over the rest of the landscape with a darker mix painted into some of the shadow areas with a brush afterwards.
I'm in a slight quandry now as I quite like the monochrome look of it all against the sky so I have to decide tomorrow morning which way to go; either stick with the original intention of varied rich colours in the shadow landscape or to develop this monochrome version with quite a subtle range of colour instead...
