I still had not located any paint thinner when I did this little study the next morning after finishing "San Gimagnano, Afternoon".
I could see the silhouetted towers up the hill from where I was, with the awakening sky behind it.
Pushing the thick paint around on my little panel without any solvent worked because I kept the big shapes and the silhouetted contrast my main focus.

I like the textural quality of the stone walls here, so I think the thick paint 'feel' worked well here. just caught your post on travelling with materials and will definitely take notes! thanks :)
Thanks, Mary.
