I'm working away steadily at this painting, there's so many different tones in the yellow rocks, (or felsic dyke so I'm told) it really is a jumble, just as Howley described it!
As can be seen from the top and bottom image, the yellow rock is becoming more pinkish. The colour of the samples (shown below) from this dyke are olive and a rusty reddish colour though the image of the dyke shows it as a dirty yellow colour but when I'm looking closely the rusty colour is there. I have to make it look middle-ground as well so it is not overwhelming the foreground.
The dyke in the painting is way too pink, maybe felsic rock tends to be pinkish and the light and the camera are playing tricks on me. Although Howley did say the rocks were yellow...I think I'll walk away from the felsic dyke for a while and concentrate on the beach and foreground rock!
