Waiting for an oil painting to dry enough that you can do more to it can be a long process, it seems. In the meantime, I’m posting excerpts from my various sketches and ink drawings, for the amusement of subscribers, mainly.

The Tower Part II
This is the start of the painting I have done of the Tower. Starting from a base coat of Lemon Yellow, then worked a little Coeruleum and a darker yellow into the lemon yellow, to make it a greenish-gold. I then worked up the dark masses with a mix of ochre and burnt umber, and darkened them further with a dash of Ultramarine. I worked white into where the sky and water will be, but I’m leaving them vague until the next layer. Given the drying rates of this paint, that might be a week or so; in the meantime I may start other projects.
