The Gardens of Alqamar - stage 2


 First colour pass over the whole painting. I will need to make the dark tonal masses of the trees join together more to make some interesting shapes as the silhouettes will be very important fro the composition to this one. The final painting will be darker and moodier than here with much less contrast between the background mosque and the foreground.

I want a quiet composition for this one with the emphasis on verticals and horizontals, quite different to how I normally work when I am looking for diagonals to add some dynamism to the composition.

Colours used : Phthalocyanine Blue, Winsor Green, Emerald Green, Permanent Orange, Lemon Yellow and Zinc White.
