Last thought




One more thought. I guess I understood that with the underpainting method one paints the underpainting and then adds glazes. No scumbles, just glazes. The glazes made the painting darker. So that means the final painting would never be lighter anywhere than the original underpainting. The underpainting had to be lighter everywhere than the final painting would end up being.

That's probably not right though, is it? Why have a technique that is so limiting. No wonder that method didn't work for me when I tried it.

Hmmph.

Joan
