Kore Color Studies 2/Underpainting

Another look at underpainting, using a lighter tint on colored paper. The original goal was to create a sense of space by including changes in value behind a flat field, but the warmth or coolness of the colors, in this case Mist and Bisque, have a huge impact.

Experiment:

Will adding Bisque or Mist as an underpainting add dimension?

Plus:
  • The impact was bigger than I expected. It does add space, but I didn't expect how much Bisque would turn things "warm", and Mist turn them "cool"
Minus:
  • none
Next:
  • Will definitely use Bisque as an undertone in future prints.
