To misquote Rolf Harris you can't see what it is yet.... I have gone ahead and done a partial tonal underpainting of the foreground as I need to establish that first before I begin to compose the background which will be a futuristic city in the style of Ancient Egyptian architecture so that the point of the painting is a fusion of my interest in Orientalism which is the foreground combined with a Fantasy/Sci Fi background. I am going to set it at late evening with the last light in the sky on the buildings and all the city lights on and probably a spaceship going across the sky.... I am painting this to take to IX later in the year unless a buyer comes along beforehand...
Colours used so far: Dioxazine Purple and Burnt Sienna.
Oil on canvas 31 1/2" x 12".
