• Creation of the underpainting

Stage Two:

• Revision of materials particularly brushes

• Analysis of underpainting shapes and methods to correct them

• Initial development of the underpainting working from back to front

• Initial development of the underpainting working from dark to light ( or light to dark)

• "Double Darking” certain areas for opaqueness

Stage Three:

• Continue to build up the painting from the underpainting

• Additional help with color mixing and color theory

• Adding values and depth will bring greater dimension

• Discussion on “Poetic” brushwork and methods to express design

• The painting starts to “turn the corner”
