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

“I always start a painting with an underpainting, which can be made of burnt sienna or raw umber. I also use yellow ocher or ultramarine, depending on the ambiance of the portrait.”

This time I didn't want to paint over all of the reddish underpainting. I scratched the board with a palette knife for some outlines as well.

Stage 1 of ’A Handful of Lotus Seeds' pastel study

A new picture begins, no.3 in the hands series. I'm using a monochrome underpainting for the first time, and have enjoyed this exercise in tonal values.

Thanks to for his superb reference image
