Day 5 was "wax" and instead of just doing a quick lineart I did an underpaint that I could do a full piece off of if I wanted to later. Underpaints don't look *great* but I need to practice foundations!

I see the division between the research works on paper and the more formal realisation of ideas on canvas as mythmaking and then ritual. I have been playing with high textures, with variations on the priming and finally with some heavy underpainting https://t.co/kA123rxMG1

12.) Overpaint

13.) Change color of line art or do a line art “underpaint”

Before and after I lowered the opacity of the overpaint and moved the line art “underpaint” below the original line art:

So easy to forget to paint for fun. This was the underpainting this eve for little reedfringed Suffolky shorepool with waders but after half an hour of smearing it about, in go the wolves hunting wildboar in the snow.

Landscape in softpastels. I started this one by sketching the general outlines with a pastel pencil. I did a dry underpainting in hard pastels before moving on with the softpastels. These are mostly Unisons. Softpastels on dark blue Pastelmat paper (8” x 12”).

My favorite thing in painting is letting the underpainting show through. ☺️ As a result, my paintings usually look about 3/4 finished, but that's just how I like em!

This is the two together. I am still, I think, being a bit heavy handed - the next must allow more of the underpainting to come through. although it is there on these two
