You know, I'm still not sure about this whole underpainting thing. Here I am trying to build up color washes, but it feels more like I'm just overpainting in color. Perhaps I'm not ready for color washes and layers. Next painting I may not go this route, and go back to direct color. Would be faster! You can see it the detail that I left a tad of the underpainting on the clouds to show through. Good? Could I have just applied a little burnt umber to a regular painting to get much the same effect? Oh well, it's a learning process as they say. Aloha from the erupting volcano!
