Tailings pond part 2&3
Having completed my small water colour rough and having in mind how I wanted the image to look I forged ahead with an oil painting. In the first image you can see the under-painting where I have laid out the composition and tones. After that had dried and I found the time to paint (seemingly the most difficult thing lately) I began to paint more directly. The next stage will be to make a few corrections and to do some transparent passages over the water. After that I intend to add some small details to strengthen the sense of scale.
