New Tree Painting - stage 1

 


While "The Gate of Bab Al Shams" is drying before I can scan and post it I thought I would get on with another painting particularly as I am stuck indoors with a cold at the moment. This was (and still might be) going to have a Japanese Torii gate in the background but I wasn't sure if it worked compositionally so I have left it to tomorrow when I will decide over my breakfast coffee.

This is the underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and flat brush.

Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
