I abandoned " Masjid Al'Azraq" as I wasn't happy with the composition and felt that whatever I did with it it would never work. I still like the idea and will return to it when I get a better composition together.
I thought that it would be a nice change to get away from the exotic Orientalism stuff for a bit and do a few Fantasy landscapes which I will need to take to IX next month. I thought that it would be interesting to see what Midjourney came up with especially as it seems to favour this kind of subject matter. It came up with quite a few possibles and I chose this one as the first, in fact I am going to stick quite close to the original Midjourney piece for this one as I saw in my mind a quite dark and contrasty landscape which this one reflects. I'm going to warm it up a bit and have redrawn the castle/city but still kept the basic shape.
This is the tonal underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and brush.
Oil on linen 22" x 16".
