Seeing as "Al Madina Mashriq" sold so quickly after being painted I need to paint another Orientalist piece for my upcoming Every Day Original slot on July 28 as that was meant to be the piece. So I am painting something vaguely similar in that it is a boat heading towards Islamic buildings but this time it is set in Mughal India with no mosques and minarets but a Mughal style palace on a lake something lake the Lake Palace in Udaipur which I went to in 1989. It will also be different in that it will not be a nocturne but an early morning with the palace rising out of the mist with the sun breaking though in the background.
This is the initial tonal underpainting 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".
