The Gate of Bab Alshams - stage 1


 Time to get on with a possible painting for my upcoming slot on Every Day Original later this month so I have gone over to some Orientalism for a bit. This is an imaginary gateway to an imaginary city somewhere in North Africa. The title contains the Arabic words for sun and gateway which is precisely what this painting will be about. This is just the tonal 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".
