Urban landscape, oil on 10" x 8" stretched canvas
I have been 'umming and ahh-ing' about posting this as it is not a new piece but a work in progress (see post number 60, Day 9). However, since posting last time, I've added paint to the underdrawing, doing a little bit on it each day. Eventually, I hope to show the gentleman in shade with the sun streaming in beside him on the grassy area. For this, all the tones will have to be absolutely right.
I used MH Burnt Umber to put the darks in the foreground; isn't the colour rich and fabulous? I could have used Raw Umber but I'm hoping the intensity of the BU will make the subsequent blues look more vibrant. Seeing how luscious his RU and BU are, I am so tempted to buy his Burnt Siena, simply to experience the vibrancy of that colour in his range but maybe that's not a good reason to splash out on a tube of paint, even if it is only Series1. The website says: "Its tint power is noticeably stronger than the more opaque Earths." Gimme, gimme!!
