        After doing loads of reading on here and elsewhere, plus YouTube videos, I thought I’d try a painting with a violet underpainting. I am working on clouds and creating distance, two things (among many!) I wasn’t good at before. Got a little carried away with the clouds, but overall I am pleased with how the underpainting unified things. 8X10 on 600 grit hardware store sandpaper. Any and all cc welcome :) This is just west of Green River UT in the early evening:

            Love your clouds and your choice of colour for the underpainting…

                Your technique worked perfectly. The clouds are not overdone at all, IMHO. They add to the isolation and great distance. Well done!

                    I really like the highlights on the cliffs.
                    Great job.

                        I like the WHOLE thing! You clouds are tremendous. You are so fortunate to live where you can see vast distances like that. :)

                        I have a white dog and lots of pastels...but are any of them the right color when I need them to be?

                                I like seeing hints of the violet underpainting showing through. You did such nice work on those clouds!

                                The clouds are gorgeous.
                                Violet seems to be a good choice for the underpainting.

                                    Thanks everyone! I am having fun with underpainting, something I didn’t do before. Taking the time off made me reflect on painting and I decided if I were to return I needed to foster a student mindset. This time around I am reading, reading, reading, watching videos, purchasing downloads, etc, etc…..
