Comfort (oil, 60 x 70 cm) Stage 1: The Underpainting


At 60 x 70 cm, this is the biggest work I've ever attempted, and I'm really enjoying it. I've started with an underpainting in verdaccio and, once it's dry, will add the flesh tones by means of transparent glazes. This is the technique used by the old masters.
