Thank you Roena Jane and Cathy,  when i look at this painting now there's so many things i would have done differently.  I have painted over the top with my glazes and its very impressive what you can do with a painting in this way, but i think i should have kept my grisaille a bit lighter to really take the introduction of colour more freely. i will be posting shortly.

Love the warmth in the foreground!  The light behind the bridge pulls you in.  Perhaps softening the edges of the building, or bringing the softness of the sky onto them might bring you even further into the painting.  Seems to be happening on the left, but not so much on the right.  But, I love it!

Very nice Pauline.  I like the city & bridge idea to go with the sunset. I guess I better get going with mine!
