For me




I simply have never seen the worth of doing underpainting and slowly finding color. True color must have the right values, chroma and intensity. As I said earlier, choosing to ignore and being selective is a different argument. That's a discussion about selection/editing. I would never try to paint a soul. Souls and spirits are mostly invisible to me. Gosh, skin is tough enough.

This was a quick sketch I posted elsewhere, done alla prima with warm light. Someone asked about my posting a still life. Color exists in landscapes and still lifes as well as in portraits and we all know what Sargent said about that: "To paint a good portrait you must learn to paint everything, lest you be called a mannerist."
