COMPLEMENTARY ALCOHOL WASH - PART THREE

May 24, 2016 by Alain Picard in Art Instruction

Our underpainting series with UART Sanded Paper continues with Part Three of our complementary alcohol wash demonstration. In this video, I'll show you how to refine the painting using a variety of blending techniques and adding details without covering up your underpainting or losing the freshness of your bold marks. I hope you enjoy the final result! Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

There really are so many ways to apply an underpainting. Keep an eye out for my next blog post where I'll teach you how to use odorless mineral spirits to apply a local color wash. It’s going to be bold, loose and exciting!
