Wadi Shuruq - stage 1


 Another Orientalist painting of somewhere that does not exist, this one is intended for my upcoming slot on Every Day Original on the 28th May. A desert sunrise over domes and minarets reflected in the water of a wadi/river. Intended to be dusty pinks and oranges but who knows if I will stick with that after my customary morning coffee...

This is the first tonal underpainting stage (I might give it another coat before proceeding to colour) using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and applied with a small bristle brush and a rag.

Oil on linen 16" x 12".
