Roughly translates as "Port of The Dusty Wind"....
Just trying something out for my next Every Day Original slot coming up in June... sort of Atkinson Grimshaw in the Sahara...probably a limited palette of dusty colours to try and get across a hot dusty afternoon/night atmosphere. Hoping to make it very moody and atmospheric.
I "drew" it up this morning and then put in the tonal underpainting for the sky as well as blocking in the boat this afternoon but didn't have enough time to get it all in today as I didn't want to rush it. By getting the sky in first I will be able to finish the rest of the underpainting tomorrow and have time to put in the first colour pass on the sky as it will be dry from today's session. I used my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a brush and rag.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
