For this, 16x20” painting of Red Junglefowl, I started with a verdaccio underpainting. It’s a tonal underpanting, usually monochromatic green, but I added a little bit of Transparent Red Oxide and Phaloto green to mine. Why do an underpainting like verdaccio? It’s so we can map out our value dynamic before we get into the nitty-gritty details of our painting. It’s quite different from my usual approach of Block-In, Modeling, and Detail. How do you think it turned out?
