After some deliberation I made a start on the first pass of colour on the background which I am basing around a muted violet to contrast with the complementary yellow that will go in the lit window. Everything else will be muted blues although I had a bit of a panic when I thought the preliminary brushwork on the mountains was too blue so I ran a thin wash of the original Burnt Sienna/Winsor Violet over it with a stronger wash on the temple which needs to be a slightly different colour to the rocks. Hopefully it will make more sense tomorrow...
Colours used: Ultramarine Blue, Ultramarine Violet, Permanent Orange, Warm White and Zinc White.
