I have finished the basic tonal underpainting before it gets a desaturated blue wash prior to the colour going on. I'm glad I didn't rush it yesterday as that foreground needed quite a lot of thought as I painted it in. In my mind I have always seen this in a slightly murky late afternoon light with everything in desaturated blues apart from a couple of tiny orange lights on the boat as the complementary. I wasn't planning on having that brighter spot in the sky at right but it kind of painted itself into the picture so I have kept it for the moment.
