Rick's Cafe Americain - stage 2

 


This is the initial tonal underpainting which I will work on more tomorrow as well as starting on the sky with some colour. I used my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and brush for the underpainting.

I have been looking at it this afternoon and realised it's looking too spacious at the moment; a casbah/medina would be a lot more crowded and enclosed so I am going to introduce the front of a market stall at bottom right with a few more people walking around too. This is compositionally better as well as it needed something in that corner anyway.

I'll worry about how I'm going to do the neon lettering later on...
