Tonal underpainting for "Haboob" (Arabic for dust storm - a word I like the sound of). This was originally going to be a Vampires of Venice painting but I didn't feel moved enough to paint it and and as so often happens, over my breakfast coffee yesterday I changed direction and realised that the lighting situation I have in mind would suit a desert dust storm much more. This will be a possible painting for my slot next month on Every Day Original, but got to see how it turns out first!
I used some slightly different colours for this tonal underpainting as I think they will better suit the colours that I intend to paint over the top. They were: Burnt Umber, Transparent Oxide Brown and Winsor Violet mixed as usual with Liquin.
Oil on linen 16" x 12".
