Color and Light - Paint and Pigments Chapter 5 pgs 96-99, 104-107

WARM UNDERPAINTING

  • instead of beginning a painting on white canvas sometimes artists pretone the painting
  • a warm underpainting is good for skies or foliage or anything with major blue or green 
SKY PANELS 
  • prepare a panel with a sky gradation as a base layer for the future painting 
  • paint the sky gradient then the details on top.

LIMITED PALETTES 
  • keep your color palette simple to create a more unified piece
