Karin,
I can't say I've arrived at a method yet. I have not used underpainting in the paintings I have done so far. Merely because I am (maybe mistakenly) afraid that if I start learning with the aid of underpainting the work will be constrained by decisions made before I even knew what I was doing.
What I've been doing lately is to create a small scale study of the composition before I start the full size painting. I kept blowing it because I couldn't visualize the composition but would valiantly (foolishly) forge ahead hoping for the best. I will post in a new thread a 2-hour study I have just finished. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
