For me, any thin layer of paint that begins a composition is an underpainting. It CAN be sepias, grays, or even the complementary colors of the final painting-- this last one is tricky to do because you have to think opposite (laying down green first where red will go later, for instance) but can be very effective. <BR/><BR/>For me, I like to paint in the colors in the approximate colors they will be in the end. This helps to cover the canvas (like you, I don't like raw canvas showing through), and it always speeds up the painting process, I think, because the general framework is set up. Is that helpful?r garriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601540194915313393noreply@blogger.com
