  1. Real artists, help an amateur out.

    I often sketch things on canvas in chalk. But I've been reading books about the Old Masters, and a thing they all seem to have in common is #imprimatura #underpainting.

    So my question is; When working with oil paint, what is the order of operations? Are you sketching on primed gesso with something a little more perm, like graphite, and then imprimatura, or imprimatura, then a less perm sketch like chalk once it dries?

  6. A glimpse of what the early stages of a pet commission looks like. Underpainting is arguably one of my favorite steps because it's so loose and the stakes are low. Anything can be changed or altered at this point, but you also get a good idea of what the finished piece is going to look like.

  10. After procrastinating this flower pot painting for over a month, I've finally summoned the courage to try to finish it! 😅 So far, it's been a challenge, but I think it's coming along quite nicely, so I'll post a few more photo updates in the next few days showing my progress. 🎨

    “Red Line 05” by Terrill Welch
    Acrylic and oil on canvas

    Artist notes: Surging king tides with rising sea levels are often a mesmerizing beauty in the winter sun with its deep midnight blue waters.

  15. CW: Oil underpainting of a nude woman

    There's always a sense of dread that I get when starting a new oil painting. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's very hard to make a permanent mistake with oils.

    Still. *Anxiety*

  17. It's Friday and therefore it's time for my 'god this week was stressful I need to paint something quickly wet on wet'. With bonus 'wouldn't it be cool to start thinking about cover style images?' #watercolour #underpainting
