Still relatively slow progress on this one but at least I have painted the trunks of the foreground trees after some deliberation over my breakfast coffee as to how I should proceed. The trunks will be broken up hopefully tomorrow with the branches and leaves which should (hopefully) give it the feel of a Shin Hanga Japanese print. I decided this morning to do the trees first and work towards the shrine which will be painted in last. I like that misty blue/green colour in the ground in front of the shrine so I intend to keep some of that in between the trees and the shrine - maybe some wet highlights seeing as in my mind it is gently raining in the picture.
