That's a provisional title...
I am planning this one to look like the old 19th century Orientalist landscapes of Hermann Corrodi with a big warm evening sky and all the trees etc quite dark against it. So for a change no single light source as such, just a glow in the sky. I usually compose pictures with a dominant shape/object usually in the foreground but this time no one shape is designed to dominate (maybe the feluccas, just) and everything is about the location and the lighting.
This is halfway through the initial tonal underpainting which I will finish tomorrow and uses my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied just with a brush so far.
This is another painting that I intend to take to IX in October. Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
