Raw Umber Underpainting
Added 2025-05-01 13:45:00 +0000 UTCWorking on this underpainting currently. Raw Umber and Lead White underpainting, painted on Belgium linen that I prepared with 5 layers of golden gesso, and one final layer of golden neutral 7 acrylic ground. This painting may take a while as it’s big and I want it to be really good. As I have said before, I make Raw Umber under-paintings when I want my paintings to look “form oriented”. If the painting is a more colorful work, I generally work on a lighter ground that’s warm, but if the work is somber in palette and more tenibrist leaning I work on top of a grisaille.
