Took a few days off to paint. wednesday too but my little girl felt from the stairs and she stayed at home ... so no painting session that day.
The two other days went very well. I painted the rest of the background - greenish construction, brown basin for the grass and green-bleu water around it. Yes, I changed my initial idea. There will be a grass-basin and water around it (inversion of initial idea). On Friday searched a gold-color and found it by melting cadmium-yellow and cadmium-red as base, cadmium-yellow and white for the light-reflections and a bit of VanDyck-brown for the dark-side. Tried it out on the pallet and it gives a good result. Started to paint the first border on the top-construction - a golden tube ...
Listened to the complete Ring des Nibelungen of Wagner (till the first act of Der Götterdämmerung - which gives a idea of the number of hours worked on it : 12 hours in 2 days).
