An underpainting I’m kinda proud of. But I’m also proud of the brush, a new turpentine brush which may be an indication of what I’m cooking up these days. Start getting excited.

This is what I'm refering to! This would be the underpainting. Skin tone would be the layer over that.

Intended to paint this study of a photo by Jacob Riis, but changed my mind and decided to leave it as an underpainting.

Another one of the large flower pastels on heavy paper with an underpainting of gritty tempera paint. The head is glass and used for hat display. This was sold at an exhibition.

Sometimes it's the little details. I do love the crystalline snowflake patterns of salt on watercolor. My favorite part though, the cravat, hot pink underpainting with gesso, teal wc, and ink. So satisfying!

Yesterday wasn't very productive 🫣. Here are 3 variations and 1 underpainting view (it shows quickly, and the rest is painted over it in about a minute). I'm aiming for an EOM release.

And now just the images, since the algorythm ate my last post. The b/w underpainting vs the coloured end result.

The process:

1. Sketch - focus on creating interesting shapes, character design, and composition
2. Underpainting - lay in base tones and temperature spots
3. Texture - lay in textures, wrapping around forms
4. Lighting and FX - choose light source, make it pop!
