Painting a portal to Antarctica

[u/FlyingBuilder]

Got up around 4 o’clock this morning to work on this underpainting for this arctic painting. This will be mounted in a porthole once complete. This was done with just one brush and one color, chromatic black from Gamblin thinned down. Highlights are just wiped away with a paper towel. 10.5” oil on linen panel. Second photo is one I painted a couple years ago.
