Painting Dryslwyn Castle

I have started a painting of Dryslwyn Castle. I cut a board to size (33ins x 17 ins) and have triple primed it rubbing down in between coats.

I then used a small brush to layout the composition with turps and burnt sienna plus a bit of blue.
This works well for this type of scene if you want to alter anything use a bit of turps and a rag to wipe it. It will mostly be painted over anyway but it is quite a free quick way of doing things, saving you getting bogged down in detail.

So there it is above first stage completed.
