Quinacridone gold.

I`ve painted the outside view of Tynemouth Priory many times over, but never the inside, so when I was looking through my reference photo`s for something to paint I came across the reference that I used for this painting, and I couldn`t resist giving it a go.
I loved the way the sunlight was streaming through the stained glass windows. It was so bright that you could hardly see any colour in the windows at all.

I started by laying on an underwash of quinacridone gold, so that it would give the end painting a lovely warm golden glow, and a feeling of unity.
