scene one
this shows the background, which I had actually prepared for
some other painting (in a vertical format). I’d sloshed on some purplish
pink undercoat and when that was dry, had covered it over loosely with a
greeny colour. I was all set to do something else on that background when
it dried, but then decided to do a different painting altogether, a painting of
horses in hyde park in the thick snow. the main colour that came forward
when I looked at my original photo reference of the scene, was a red-ish
brown colour in the mass of empty branches which seemed to cover most
of the photo in a random hotch-potch of branches, so I started again in that
basic colour, and covered the green background with a red undercoat.
