Rita's, Further Work

If you click on the image below, you'll get a larger view of the painting. There you can see the difference between the Mars Black layer at the top and the thinner Payne's Gray wash below it on the left. I like the idea of depth in the night sky, but don't want to lose entirely the muggy feeling of a warm summer evening. Will have to figure it out.

Meanwhile, I'm starting to sketch in the figures.
