There is this lovely chocolate shop in Voorschoten, I can make a bunch of paintings from it. It's great from the outside, the inside and the little handmade chocolates are art by itself. I will certainly get back there for more inspiration.

I made some pictures of the progress:

I tone the background with a thinned down burned umber. I set up the big shapes with thin burned umber. I wipe out the areas that aren't right.

 

Because I want to finish this painting in one day, I add the important colors I don't want contaminated with dark or light, first.

 

 

 I quickly block in the rest. So far it's always fun. From now on it can go uphill or downhill..

 

 

Adding details, take distance, don't overwork it: done!
