10% off your first purchase with Squarespace: http://www.squarespace.com/happydartist Hello my darlings, today’s video is the first in a multi-part series. I’ll be starting a new landscape oil painting that honestly was a bit of a struggle for me, but i’ll get into more of that in part 2 coming up shortly. For now, let's focus on a new-ish approach to an underpainting where I used multiple colors to achieve a monochromatic grisaille. Hope you enjoy! ?

These will all be based off of how I learned to draw and measure heads at the atelier! Here's our school anatomy textbook (not sponsored, but affiliate ..read more
