Really getting there. Sorry the second picture is kind of dark but it shows the structure of the painting more and the first pic shows the color I chose. My twelve year old daughter walked in on me while I was painting and said are the stairs covered in red velvet. I was like huh, She didn't understand what I was doing so I said I chose a color scheme to capture the mood of the place, I'm not painting it the way it looks in the photo, I am painting emotively. I STILL don't think she gets it because her mind can be pretty literal sometimes. I started painting the stairs in magenta, then when that was dried I painted in alzirion crimson the shadows were started in Indigo then overlaid with Cobalt Violet.
I'm planning on doing one on Proveglia and that one has a green and indigo color scheme in mind. Waverly Hills feels more blue and white but I haven't started looking for shots to decide what I'm really going to go for, but the feeling I get is isolation and distant, a certain coldness and desolation there.
I don't know how many painted layers is going to be done for Loftus Hall, As many as it will take till I declare it done, or rather the painting says it's done.
