Finally I did it. This picture was a lot of work, even if it may not look so. There are lots and lots of layers of soft grey washes done here. It may not reach the hundred-mark, but I am sure there are about 60-80 layers. For those who are interested in, I managed to remind my self of taking some work in progress pictures... so here they are:

Thanks to STelari for her suggestion! I really was surprised how much feedback I got after the suggestion of my painting "Muse of the solitude" as Daily Deviation.

The word “Notan” comes from the traditional japanese art and means the tone-value of a picture. "No" has the meaning of dark, saturated ink ( traditional japanese painting is mostly done in black-white ), while "Tan" has the meaning of more diluted, and brighter ink. I started now, making such small “Notans”, finding them to be a good help in planning a picture. Even if the later painting is with colors, the tone-values have a very important rule, in how the picture impact on the...

As a turn of faith, I am currently located in Ecuador, next to the capitol Quito. I am not completely happy with it, but will return to Germany in December, so it´s what you would call an interesting experience. Because of the situation, my workspace is much smaller, than it used to be, but have a look on your own:
