You can see my original underpainting showing through the glaze in the cool halftone areas of Jessie's face, neck and blouse. It is more difficult, but you can also see it showing through the darker glazes that I laid down in the shadow areas.

You cannot see any of my underpainting in the areas where light falls directly on an object because I have "built light" over it with thick opaque paint using my underpainting as a guide.

I glazed a new skin tone layer over the face each time before I added thick opaque light. I worked this light directly into my wet glaze.
