Shinrin Taisha - stage 5


 Progress has been slow recently partly due to ongoing commitments away from the studio and partly because I couldn't decide on how to paint the foreground and shrine. After trying out a few different colour combinations and then rubbing them off as they didn't work I have settled on using three different glaze colours, the original Sienna/Violet mix, a subdued green/blue mix and a more greener green/blue mix - using one colour for all of it was too monochrome and boring. I have made a start but left it there so that I can ponder over it tomorrow morning over my breakfast coffee and get it all clear in my head as to how to proceed.

Colours used: Prussian Blue, Ultramarine Violet. Winsor Violet, Permanent Sap Green, Phthalocyanine Green, Permanent Orange, Lemon Yellow and Zinc White.
