Acrylic Underpainting II


"Tower" 24x30 acrylic on canvas NFS

Stage two of the underpainting was done with a lot of palette knife work and then brushwork into the stil wet patches of acrylic paint. This allowed adjustment at a secondary level. Most of this was done to the area around the 'Tower' formation. I will do a little more work with acrylic before switching to oil. The very first application of paint is still showing through and influenceing the colors.

Quick Demo - Underpainting


"Tower" 24x30 acrylic on canvas NFS

This was a demonstration done in the gallery space at the Sedona Arts Center. Starting with a white canvas I did a few charcoal marks to start the drawing then jumped into a loose acrylic underpainting to start the painting process. I got as far as placing some palette knife work (still in acrylic) on the 'Tower' formation's right hand side. I anticipate finishing with oils after more development in acrylic. More later...
