The Sultan's Favourite - stage 4

All I could get done yesterday was to put in some basic shadow areas on the palace buildings before I had to go to London to deliver some paintings to The Store Street Gallery. Today I painted in the background landscape at right and made a start on the palace buildings. In my mind's eye I have always seen this picture in very rich warm colours with an orange/pink cast to the palace buildings and warm orange/yellows in the foreground which I think will only work if I can get some very dark shadow areas and then use glazes over the whole painting to get the lighting and atmosphere that I want.
