Going quite carefully in terms of drawing it up as it's a large important painting that I don't want to have big problems with later on. I have been working on the bottom right corner and the citadel; the corner is very important as I need a secondary focal point which is why I am putting a figure in here. If it is just a landscape painting there is not an obvious focal point that IX can use as publicity as the show gets nearer, with a figure they have a choice to come in on it or use the landscape as a whole.
The citadel buildings are only roughly put in for the moment, a lot of them will emerge as the Tonal Underpainting is put in.
Still "drawing" it up with a small bristle brush using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and a dash of turpentine.
