Stage 2
I didn't get a chance to post yesterday's progress so here are both stages to date. In stage 2 I sketched in the silhouettes of the Japanese Torii gate and temple after some suggestions from people on Instagram to include a Torii gate and to make it foggy which I thought were decent suggestions. I then roughed in an early pass of a mix of Phthalocyanine Blue and Green and Permanent Orange on the tree and left it at that.
Today I painted a second pass of that mix on the tree and then painted in a desaturated mix of the same colours but mixed with Warm White and Lemon Yellow over the background together with a mix of Permanent Orange, Lemon Yellow, Yellow Lake Deep and Warm White near the horizon. After that the light wasn't good enough to work any more in the studio so I have left it like this, besides which I would like to have a look at it over tomorrow morning's breakfast coffee and see if I'm happy with where it's going - I might for instance decide to knock the tree back into the fog....
