In this stage, having fleshed out composition and colours, I placed a veil of opposite colour over each patch of colour. Pale yellow/orange over sky blue and a soft mauve over sandy colour will give further layers richness and solidity. I used indigo and ultramarine oil stick for linear strokes and mark making gesture. I need to wait until the dark horizontal texture dries before I Use an orange oil stick to create a solid line that is drawing wet onto a dry surface to prevent the indigo and orange from blending. Next layer will require more build up of colour before I lay in small areas of glaze.
