Tonal underpainting now finished. Late last night I was looking at it before going to bed and realised that the way the painting looked at that time suggested going for a more Orientalist colouring than the one that I had originally intended. In the morning over coffee I looked at Orientalist painters like Hermann Corrodi and even Orientalist postcards from that period in my collection and decided on a warmer, hotter even, late sunset/dusk light based around yellows, oranges, pinks and violets. You will see this start to take effect tomorrow when I start to paint the sky...
