Now, I begin the background washes inside the moon. Using "Indigo", and a mix of "Burnt Siena" and "Alizarin Crimson" I lay in the sky washes - I want this to be a sunset scene, so the darker blue (night time encroaching) is in the upper sky whilst the Siena/Crimson wash (sun setting) is in the lower sky. The ground wash is of "Hooker's Green" with a tiny bit of "Terre Verte" blended in.

Tomorrow, more background work and inking.
