Van Gogh in a Day

Stage 7: Many swirls

As I was by this point over the self-imposed six hour deadline for my painting, I wanted to bring it on home as quickly as possible. Light swirls of ultramarine blue and cadmium yellow with titanium white were added rapidly to the background, followed by a smaller number of almost pure white brushmarks. Layers were allowed to blend.
