So the underpainting thing seems to be working out pretty well. One very noticeable improvement is that painting feels more like a process of laying out a general idea, then developing that idea bit by bit. Inch by inch, as they say, life is a cinch.
Which, by the way, appears to be one woefully mis-attributed idiom. According to my thirty minutes of half-assed internet research, this adage has been in print since at least the 50’s however three of my top five search results give the credit to people using it decades later. So remember kids, always verify the random things you find on random internet websites.
But back to business. I like how the layers came together in this one, and I hope you will to.
Happy painting!
