So after spending way too much time on a way too detailed underpainting I've almost completely obliterated it with a wash of Ultramarine blue... Turned out actually much darker than the picture and actually darker than I intended but makes for a good "black". At least with all that fussing I've discovered a lot about the building and what is hidden under all of the scaffolding in my reference photo. Currently enjoying painting in the midtones loosely and at least a bit more quickly! Soon I'll be on to faking the lighting! May have to hang the photo in the show so viewers can appreciate my pain....
