Refuge - stage 1

 


A painting to celebrate the end of a bloody freezing couple of weeks in the UK!... mind you it's now raining all day as the warm air meets the cold....

This will be a nighttime winter snow picture with just a single warm light on in the distant house based around a blue/orange colour complementary. I actually tried painting this before many moons ago but for some reason I can't remember I ended up putting my fist through the canvas in frustration of it not going where I wanted it to! I must try and find the photo....

This is the tonal underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and flat brushes.

Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
