Arrival Of The Concubines - stage 2

Looking at the work of Atkinson Grimshaw I conclude that he must have done a lot of glazing to get the richness of colour so I have resolved to do some on this. After I have finished the transitions around the moon I will glaze some mix of Prussian Blue over the deliberately warm colour that I applied today on the rest of the sky - hopefully a cold blue over a warm greenish underpainting will produce a nice effect. The sky will be darker than this, hopefully richer in colour with a dazzling light effect on the moon. I can't really put the water in yet as until the sky is finished I don't know what light and colour it will be reflecting. There will be a warm orange glow in the jetty pavilion and a few lights on the shore and city - a complementary colour axis that the painting is based on, Red/Orange - Blue/Green.
