Underpainting in complements: A Glow




Just for fun I decided to try underpainting in reverse colors. The suit was red and the skin tones were light green. Painting the skin tones on top of the green created a great glowing effect. I also used mostly Old Holland paint including flake white and some of their incredible shades. The only medium used was linseed oil. I tried this after reading that Michelangelo used this technique with skin tones.

I'm not yet able to download but trying this may be very satisfactory.
