Nénuphar - stage 1

Nénuphar is French for water lily which will be found in the pool at the bottom of the painting but I just love the name anyway so in my imagination it is the name of the woman who is emerging out of the pool (you can't see her yet)...or maybe it is the name of the Land that I am painting....
I first "drew" it up with a small bristle brush using a mix of Burnt Sienna thinned with Liquin and Lukas Number 5 Medium and then used a rag to wash in some tone using the same colour mix thinned with turpentine in the morning session. By mid-afternoon it was dry enough to very roughly paint in some underlying colours. 
This is another painting that will hopefully be heading to Illuxcon later in the year.
