Rig - stage 1

Carrying on from the last one I am using the same paint mix but over a more saturated lemon background this time. I mixed up acrylic Titanium White with more Cadmium Yellow Light in it and then gave it a coat of Liquin to see if that helps to prevent the background colour from lifting whenever I use any turpentine to rub paint away when drawing up etc. I used the usual mix of Prussian Blue, Winsor Green and Permanent Orange thinned with Liquin to "draw" it up and I will then use the same mix with a rag to put in some tone tomorrow. I did wonder about using the Burnt Sienna/Winsor Violet mix over the lemon background but felt that I needed to try this combination out first.
The location is the vast landscape of Texas which I am hoping to get across with this lone oil rig set against the flat horizon, the sky will hopefully make it all work, we'll get more of an idea tomorrow. I am actually thinking of renaming the series "The Big Sky" instead of "Roadside Apocalypse" as I think it's going to be limiting if I just stick to apocalyptic imagery!
