I did more to this yesterday morning. Used various colours. The idea is that whatever is on your brush, you scan across the whole painting looking for where it might go. That way pictorial harmony may result. I also introduced a yellow wash to go wherever the photo shows green. I NEVER use green paint and I try not to mix green on the palette.
More time was spent on all the above stages. I am fighting against the desire to go for more accuracy. I need to keep reminding myself that my aim is to summarise the mass of diagonals and verticals to give an impression of the strange chaos of the scene.
I have gone through with all the colours and made some “corrections” .
I think it should stay rather ambiguous. Mood is everything. Let the viewer work at making sense of it! I think I will stop here.
