Morning, Jebel Moussa - stage 4


 I'm still thinking of retitling this to "Low Tide, Jebel Moussa".....

What I'm trying to do with this picture is to make somewhere that only exists in my imagination look as real as I can and I think the new title makes it sound even more like a real place. So it's a fantasy painting but I'm trying to paint it as though I had set my easel up on the sand and was painting it as a plein air or at least a plein air finished in the studio.

I have redesigned some of the buildings as in daylight they didn't look very possible (in the original night time painting it was too dark to tell!), so tomorrow I hope to finish the buildings and make a good start on the sandy foreground.

Same colours as before but with the addition of Naples Yellow.
