Have you wondered how an UNDERPAINTING can help your paintings? Watch and practice along with me using the simple geometric subject of Watermelon Slices! Gain an understanding of this technique, how I use it, and why it helps.
The colors I use are used in this painting listed here:
Cadium Red, Alizarine Crimson (a small amount, not necessary), Yellow Oxide, Mars Black, Titanium White, Cool Yellow, Cerulean blue, Ultramarine Blue, and Quinacridone Magenta
- My philosophy is to use what you have. If you have a similar color make it work!

Happy Painting!

@@sharingArtWmyCat it really frustrates me when I look at other peoples tutorials and they do not provide the colors. I suggested they allow me to give them a demonstration on how to bake a cake, but I won’t tell them the ingredients and I’ll work quickly. I told them their cake would be a flop for sure.!!! I really enjoy learning to paint and it’s illustrations and tutorials like yours that have been very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for showing this! What colors did you use for the under painting? Do you ever deviate from what you use depending on the color you’re going for?

Hi! I tend to use the sienna and umbers (burnt and raw sienna, and burnt umber) when I underpaint. Although you can use a monochromatic color palete such as muted blues for the underpainting also. I like the more neutral colors personally because they ususally doesnt get in the way of any of the true colors you will use on the top. Hope this helps! Thank you for your inquiry!

This was a very helpful tutorial, thank you for sharing your skills and talent. I’m a beginner and just purchased some acrylic paints which have a beautiful colour range, but some are semi transparent. Can you please explain the best way to overcome that transparency? Is it this technique of underpainting or is there something else you can suggest? New sub from Australia looking forward to learning more from you 🐨🇦🇺💙🎨😊

Hello! Usually yellow is the worst for the semi transparency. A thinker bodied paint works better. I will sometime mix white with the color if I can, even a gesso. An UNDERPAINTING will definitely help, although it will look a bit different than you may expect. I really like it though. I dont use anything too expensive. Some I like are Liquitex and Golden. Thank you for your support. I'm going to Spain soon, I hope to bring back some great artistic inspiration from my trip!💙

@@sharingArtWmyCat thank you for your reply, I’ll keep trying. I didn’t realise the transparency was such an issue. I will practice with the underpainting and the adding white.. it’s a learning curve. Have a wonderful time in Spain! Wow that’s feast of culture for artistic inspiration🤩😍
