Convento de Tepotzotlan 2
oil on paper
46 x 33 cm

And still going... The light shining on the right is just glare from the camera, and I don't know how to photoshop it out. There are patches of wet paint also, so it looks really crappy. I'm having problems with the wall and dome line separation. I'll probably end up using some tape to paint straight lines whenever it dries out.

Colors used (so I won't forget):
  • Light-salmon/crimsom base: burnt sienna (4/5) + titan red (1/5) + white + turps
  • Grey on top, and left: phthalo blue + black + red + ocher or white
  • Yellow on center: ocher + crimsom layer with lots of turps
  • Dark surroundings: crimsom + burnt umber
