Stage 2
OK I have changed the title... and I yet might change it back again...
Stage 2 is the tonal underpainting using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Violet.
Stage 3 is the first pass of colour over the whole painting. Once I had the sky in I decided to use transparent washes of colour to get in the lighting/colour framework that I intend to use. The lighting is the late afternoon light I saw when I was in Egypt many years ago, the tricky bit is trying to keep the sky and pyramid in the background yet still lit with afternoon sun so I made a start on the light hitting the top of the temple wall to see how it looked against the background. I have now stopped painting so I can look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes and decide how to proceed.
Colours used so far: Phthalocyanine Turquoise, Emerald Green, Ultramarine Violet, Pale Violet, Amethyst, Brilliant Pink, Permanent Orange, Yellow Lake Deep, Lead Tin Yellow Lemon, Lemon Yellow and Zinc White. All Michael Harding.
