Underpainting

[Clive Fullagar]

Thanks Michael,

I am interested in the specifics of "Verdaccio" and I know you have posted something else about this on this site - so forgive the repetition. When you say gray-green monotones - what specific green are you referring to? Also, your message seems to imply that underpainting can be an end in itself (as in the Ingres piece) - but if you were going to go on and work the piece into a full-color work (as the name "underpainting" implies) how would you go about doing it? I do not know whether Karin worked her portrait of "Sarge" into a color piece, but if she did I would be interested in how she did it.
