I haven't painted anything for a while as I have been working on a new book of my work, more about that soon...
This is another Orientalist painting aimed at my next Every Day Original slot coming up on July 28th. The title is a rough translation of The Shining City in Arabic... rather handily "mashriq" also means East or Eastern so it can also mean The Eastern City. I'm planning on a nocturne with the moon in the sky above the city of mosques and buildings with many lights on, most of the city and foreground boats will be pretty much in silhouette.
This is the initial tonal underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and applied with a small bristle brush, a flat brush and a rag.
Oil on linen 16" x 12".
