The first painting since I got back from my tour of US National Parks is under way. "Rock Of Souls" is heavily influenced by the rock formations I saw but I'm stopping here halfway through the tonal underpainting as I need to make decisions about how to proceed including whether I keep it monochrome for instance.... the qualities of the underpainting have something of what I'm looking for so I'm thinking about how best to retain them but still going for a full colour painting...
This is the tonal underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with various brushes.
Oil on canvas 32" x 12".
