oil painting techniques ~ portrait 2/3 (underpainting 2 - colour layer)

this is the underpainting color layer (layer 2)

here you determine the coloring and tonality of the painting

you should aim to achieve roughly 80% accuracy to what the finished paintings colors will be - refinements to these can be made in subsequent layers

before painting began a thin layer of painting medium was brushed over the surface making the application of color easier and easier to blend smooth with the fan brush

colors used:
permanent rose
cadmium yellow light
french ultramarine
Titanium White

brand:
Winton oil color (or other)

Mediums:
refined linseed oil (or other)
