Not on the output front but in terms of a ‘vision’ of the landscape. I have taken the biggest liberties with this painting in terms of moving objects around and simplifying areas and intensifying colour. This photo was taken on a grey overcast day, what that means is I don’t have to have the finished article in terms of photographic material. The work I do to edit and draw out the composition and to get creative in the painting process has transformed the starting point. This is very encouraging. The previous editions of this painting have come out quite cold in terms of temperature, today is correct. All to do with using a new camera.
