Power of the Underpainting

Behind the Scene started out with an underpainting with a solid value structure and colours that interested me.
If you have read any of my previous posts, you will know that I am a fan of the underpainting. The underpainting has been used for centuries to establish values and composition.  In both pastel and acrylic, I find that building up a painting in layers, starting with the underpainting provides depth and allows for rich texture. I have also found that experimenting with colour in the underpainting can lead to a more expressive style of painting.

On April 12, 2013, I will be a “Visiting Artist” at Opus in Kelowna.  I will be doing a presentation on the power of the underpainting followed by demonstrations in both pastel and acrylic.

I hope that you can join me.  Click here for more information.

Here is a copy of the PowerPoint presentation that I will be giving prior to the demos:
