First paint layers (Patreon)

The colour scheme here owes itself to two things: first, the desire to do something pastelly/smoky/semi-opaque... and well, the fact that I just got myself a few pastelly, smoky, semi-opaque new paints from Daniel Smith. =D They've just released a range of new greys, and since I declared myself to be in my grey phase this winter, it was obvious I needed to give them a go! 

The main paint used here right now is Grey Titanium, which is a warm, semi-opaque, dirty yellow-grey. I added some Naples Yellow for good measure, as well as some Cerulean Blue in the sky, in tiny quantities. 

Would anyone be interested in seeing some process thoughts on this - how to make reference and picture idea influence each other until they reach a balance, how to work reference into your piece with little perspective tricks, and how to make a dynamic composition? Let me know! The more interest there is, the more effort I'll put into the tutorial, hee.
