The 'underpainting' for these canvasses is often very specific and the palette selected strange and complex. The interactions between the 'ground' and the materials applied to it are 'very tight' visually.

The gallery at Mason's Yard is well lit but was devoid of visitors today compared to the RA Exhibition.
There may be a reason for the low level lighting at the RA!
