The Endless City - stage 1


 I am painting this as a possible picture to sell on my slot on the Every Day Original site in mid-November. Any work sold on the site must be no larger than 18" x 12" and should sell for a maximum of $500; I actually don't have anything that size already painted which is why I am painting this. I had some feedback from them that my paintings of skies would be of interest so I am combining a moonlit sky with an Orientalist theme as I seem to do quite well with Orientalist images when it comes to sales.

This is the tonal underpainting stage which was "drawn up" with a small bristle brush first using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and then the tone was applied with a rag using the same paint mix.

16" x 12" oil on Winsor & Newton Smooth Cotton Canvas.
