| My drawing ... |
 |
| First wet in wet washes. There are a lot of smaller areas of different colours. I am doing what I can w/w in the larger areas. Here I am using alizarin crimson, quin. sienna, quin. burnt orange, phthalo blue and browns and blacks [quin. burnt orange, quin. violet and indanthrone]. |

| Colours are established overall ... |
 |
| A bit of chicken-scratch spatter on the ground ... |
 |
| I am adding a soft background with permanent rose [any cool quin. pink will do], quin. burnt orange and indanthrone. I am applying it quite thinly. |
 |
| These last two photos are taken at the same stage, with different lighting. I find it difficult to get a true assessment of the colour using just the computer editing. I have posted both images so you may get a better idea of the colours and values. |
