Brown Teapot - WIP - Underpainting Techniques






I am laying out the image on the canvas panel with a thinned mix of brown made from umbers, almost a sepia tone. Wiping out and editing the lines as I go, attempting to get as accurate a drawing as I can. What I want is the basic structure and design over which I will lay my first color pass.


You can find more information and demos on underpainting techniques here.
