Working at the top of the painting, adding detail to the machinery in the ceiling, has allowed me to feel the width of the composition. The underpainting on the ceiling and coving will not stay so plain, as I have decided to add reflections/suggestions of buildings opposite the school to make it as it would be looking through a window. The tones will also need to be adjusted to keep the focus down on the real subject which is the cooking area and people. I could have done a much narrower composition and left out the majority of the ceiling but, even though it is not the main subject, I felt that it would enhance the composition and provide interest.
