Finished the underpainting. I guess I should call this a grisaille more than a verdaccio. The face and hands in the original are slightly gray-green. I posted this pic in grayscale because it eliminated most but not all of the streaks that result from the poor scan. I really do need to break down and purchase a digital camera. I'll start to lay in the colour ASAP! I will work out further value ranges and detail as I apply the colour.

Thanks Gisele...

It's funny how things turn out. I'm working from a series of photos I took of this subject. This is the one he selected for me to do. I didn't prefer this one. There are other compos of this subject I can't wait to work on. Why is it that, numerous times, images, subject matter or compositions that I think make for better art, others don't seem to like as much as they do pieces that I don't think are quite right or very appealing to me? Has this ever happened to you?

The detail and effort aren't too hard since I've kept this to only a 12x16. This is my first attempt at approaching a piece with an initial underpainting so I thought I would keep it small so I could get to the colour faster. I can't wait either :crying: I'll be starting on that today :clap:
