The Underpainting

Right now I am in the middle of underpainting my canvases. At this stage I’m getting a first coat of color on them. When I do the second coat, I may change the color(s) I use. This is to see what happens with color combinations before I begin the dots. The colors may influence the final version of the design I use. I don’t always stay too locked in to an image. A lot depends on whether I see the piece working.
