I had hoped to get a decent photo of my "Seashore Time" painting but the sun would not behave when I had the space available. Instead I varnished a few of my paintings and then started a new one...
I started "Mobile Event Horizon". I want to start this off with the entire canvas looking a little like a big slab of stone. I start off with some lighter stone colours...

The lighter colours cover the entire canvas. I now want slightly less coverage with darker colours.

| Mobile Event Horizon - stage 2: darker stone colours. |
At this point you might remark that it could be made to look even more slab like. If you were to continue seeing this surface in this way I would agree but I will be adding a new layer that will heavily defuse the colour.
On goes some course moulding paste. As you can see, it is applied in a fairly deep layer and with deliberate variation in depth. Once dry, a little of the previous light & dark colour will show but not much.

I am not quite sure how long this will take to set as it varies with temperature so it may be a few days before I continue with this work.
