Gillian Study 1

[Jeanine Jackson]

She's back!

After two weeks abroad, and two weeks recouperating, I have begun the underpainting.

I intentionally started out with a dark umber wash before wiping back so as to leave lots of room to move values up on the figure and really have her stand out.

Maybe I overdid it? Do you think the entire painting should be lighter to begin with before I start adding color?

I'm getting used to it, so it's hard to tell!

All comments are valued.
