I painted this in casein and it gave a nice wash effect to the shower clouds in the sky. I struggled with the sea a bit, tried Terra Vert first and it would not bind with the casein medium, so I switched to permanent green.


The idea for this was in my mind for a few months before I executed it. I wanted to do a view looking up at a building with it illuminated at night and the rain pouring around it. This church is on a height in a village, 3 miles from where I live. I wanted to do something different and memorable. I worked off a reference photo taken two days after Christmas, 2010.
