Ilaria,
I am very interested in how your painting develops as I, too, am attempting underpainting and glazing in a copy of Girl with a Pearl (over in the Master Copy section). Your abilities, of course, are exquisite and reflect your level of accomplishment as an artist. I am a lowly beginner!!
So, I hope to learn from your painting here. I really like what you have going here. You may want to see what Garth Herrick posted in Master Copy Critiques as advice to my beginning painting. He makes some good points about luminosity, etc.
Scott,
I hope you share your advice to Ilaria here on the forum so that I (and others) may learn, too!! Can I ask one question? I see that Ilaria is really developing form and that her masses are not flat at all. I think I got confused somewhere in thinking that the underpainting should remain without detail (like the highlights in the eyes, lightest lights and darkest darks)? Are there two schools of thought on this and which do you adhere to and why? Also, when finished with the underpainting should it be varnished before the glazing begins??
