Wed 11/12/13 started picture of Portloe Cornwall on 20x16 canvas with random pieces of torn tissue pasted on the canvas with PVA glue . Light blue at the top and heavier colour at the bottom to give recession. Sketch drawn with black and blue sharpies.

Acrylic paint was then added to the painting  transparently to let the tissue show through or opaquely

to hidden the tissue and give an under glow.

Adjusted the balcony and the wall behind the hotel after looking at the photo with gesso.
