Underpainting vs no underpainting? That is the question. In this full tutorial, it is my hope to demonstrate the benefits of underpainting. In the first half of this lesson, I will demonstrate an underpainting of pear and in the second half of this tutorial, I will demonstrate the colour layers as well as do a comparison with a pear that hasn't had an underpainting so you can see for yourself which one you like the best.

I do hope you enjoy this comparison tutorial on "To Underpaint or Not to underpaint THAT IS THE QUESTION? I would love to know which one you prefer, is this something you would like to have a go at yourself? Let me know :-). Also Guys I forgot to mention I use Zest-It Products because they are NON-TOXIC AND NON-FLAMMABLE - they also have no nasty smells!

Your under painting version is much more beautiful but I also feel that you favored it throughout the process. There are artist like David Leffel, Jeff Legg, Sherry McGraw and so many others that paint in a beautiful way and achieve spectacular results without going through the under painting process. That is one of the wonderful things about art, painting, we all do it our own way and hopefully find a way to achieve our goal and vision.

I know some artists don’t like doing an underpainting because they feel the colours are more vibrant when painted straight on a white canvas and you can see that’s true here. I think underpaintings lend well for some paintings and not so much for others. It all depends on what you’re painting! I do them sometimes and not at other times 😌 great video!

What a great way to show and teach the underpainting method. You convinced me that this is how artists I know get the classical look of the masters. I know it is never too late to learn. I am still working on watercolor painting and enjoy that medium, but this has convinced me to watch you, learn and hopefully will get the courage to expirence oil painting with underpainting. Thank you so much for the enlightment. Nancy L, Maine USA

I have never been to art school and all of my endeavors have been based on the tutorials available on KZfaq. This video has explained succinctly the importance of doing an underpainting. I have done watercolor, oil pastel and acrylic. Now I am venturing into oil paints and this has to be one of the most useful videos in terms of technical content for a beginner like me. Thank you so much.

I often use an underpainting to get the values right, then cover it up completely with opaque layers. All though you can't see through the upper layers, the underpainting still provides the same kind of structure and 3-dimensionality as if the upper layer were transparent glazes. Of course, this is more work, because you have to constantly adjust the values of subsequent layers to match those of the underpainting.

Underpainting is clearly a very good technique to begin a painting. The result is far too much stronger and lively!!

I have been painting for a good few years now but this is the first demonstration I have seen not only showing under painting but comparing results. Extremely useful. Will be giving it a try at art club tomorrow. Much appreciated.

Great tip on using an eraser. I have been painting for 40 odd years and had never come across or thought about using these.

Both versions are splendid! The visible difference is in the mood that underpainting makes. If trying to imitate the old master's style, the underpainting seems more appropriate. If we want a more modern or faster approach, the bright clear colors ( colours) of the direct method is beautiful too.

Thanks to you after years of trying to understand what an underpainting does I now I can see the difference and understand more what my paintings lack to be more effective!! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Oh my word..... no competition... the underpainting is so much richer. The colours have so much more depth. Yep underpainting for me every time. x

Watching you paint I learned a lot. I have been so afraid to use oils, tho I want to. You showed me ways for it not to be overwhelming. I liked both versions of the painting. One seemed the underpaid Ted one seemed heavier than the other, and of course more structured. I had never come across so clear a teaching of underpainting. I like the way you paint and teach. Thanks.

I struggle with making sure my paintings have enough depth and tone variety - this will help so much! Thanks :)

So nice to have a very detailed instructional video again on here. The underpainting technique is something I had never heard of before I discovered you. Love it. Thanks x

You are amazing because you explain every step so clearly and completely...of course, there is no comparison vs the two techniques...underpainting obviously creates a deeper, richer painting. Thank you so much. I love all of your videos, and you are the reason I began painting just a few months ago, and watching your videos gives me so much inspiration.
