One of the most traditional acrylic painting technique is to use an under painting when acrylic painting.
Is this a secret or an old style of painting.
I do not know but many painters do this and some don't.
I am not an artist that sticks to a consistent style but I have noticed
that using an under painting does sometimes make my paintings a little richer. The colors seem to blend into a cohesive color scheme and flow.
I usually use a dark under painting on some acrylic works.
What ever color is the darkest I will paint the whole canvas this color first.
How do I know the darkest color. I decide by the landscape back grounds.
Blue backgrounds such as a sky I use a dark blue or purple.
Green backgrounds such as a forest I use dark greens.
These are some examples. See if you can tell the under paintings.
The under painting in this picture was a dark blue green.
In this painting I used a dark blue under painting.
What do you think and what suggestions do you have about under painting? let me know.
