My idea for this painting is to revisit it with the extra paint left over from doing other paintings, and to be a bit more free with regards to composition and techniques. I'm also looking for a better name than 'Surplus Island'...
This was originally just a quick sketch using just different shades of blue paint. Unfortunately, I did not take a photo at that stage (I bet future art historians will curse me for that...). It's okay, it wasn't that good. But there is quite a difference between the all blue version and this new one with colour.
As a technique I was trying out, the ground is actually black paint that was very heavily diluted with linseed oil. This makes more of a transparent glaze, more like a watercolour paint than an oil paint.
