Edges

This is a wonderful underpainting! I especially like the drama in the background. Nicely handled.

The fun thing about underpainting is that it is your time to work out composition and try things out before you commit to intricate colors.

One of the decisions that may need addressing here is where are your lost edges going to be? The painting is strong everywhere, and might benefit from a variety of edge treatment (keep a few hard edges, soften lots more - especially along the contours of flesh).

I believe another edge rule is where the form ends, make the edge sharper than in transitions.

Watch the bridges of their noses. These should be a value darker, me thinks.

Please post progress!
