I have it ready now to paint in the foreground trees tomorrow. I toned down the moon and the brightness of the waterfall so that the lights in the temple are the lightest part of the picture. My choice of a yellow/violet colour complementary will be more apparent tomorrow when I paint in the yellow into the windows. I also broke up the background mountainside with some wisps of cloud.
I never use black in all my paintings, I make up "blacks" from combinations of colours like Winsor Violet and Permanent Sap Green in this case. Sometimes I want a warm "black' and other times I want a cold "black", it all depends on the overall colour temperature of the painting.
