This one was instigated a few nights ago on the way home when I saw white clouds in the sky as the light had faded pretty much to night. I thought an Orientalist setting might suit it and then realised that I had Orientalist architecture on my doorstep, Brighton Pavilion. I chose an orange/blue complementary with just a touch of orange/yellow in a couple of windows to offset the predominately blue sky using a warm tonal underpainting in the first stage.
The blues were mixes of Kings Blue Light, Prussian Blue and Permanent Orange and the "black" was a mix of Prussian Blue and Permanent Orange. A tiny touch of Cadmium Yellow was painted in the window, all colours Michael Harding.
Oil on linen 16" x 12".
There is a short progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
