Entering the next stage

For those who asked what is the story behind the painting.....

When your history is one with all what used to be nice is broken

Someday somewhere even you will see a spark of love
Put on your nicest dress and start heading for the exit
Run for the light and leave the all the broken parts behind
If there is no exit you could decide to create one yourself
You could draw a new sparkling world, full of love

Entering the next stage, finished almost with the underpainting (corrected some perspective errors and added some more stone.... have to do some shading), I started with coloring the sky. This shows immediate the effect that I want to achieve, a real breaktrough.

The glazing of the wall is started. I use for the first layer(s) Rembrandt Oils. color Still de Grain. The medium used is Scheveningen Oil Medium. The color still the grain is a slightly darkish kind of yellow, highly transparent but with a lot of pigment. The color layer is applied as a very thin film, most of the details of the underpainting will be seen through the film. The highlights of the underpainting are worked out with Titan White while the glace is still wet.
