I started this underpainting today, along with several others. My underpaintings are usually neutral although when I am doing portraits, I sometimes like to use a crimson color to warm up the skin tones. I really enjoy the process of making the underpainting disappear. There is something really satisfying about laying a luminous color on top of a muddy neutral. I am looking forward to finishing this painting of my cat. It was pretty cute today when she laid on my lap while I painted her. I think she was making sure it met her approval! I will be posting the finished product soon!

Here is a the more finished oil version of that kitten.  Totally different huh?  That's one thing I love about art... a person could continue studying the same subject and never do the same thing.  That's what is so cool about the world God created too.  There are countless works of art in the world and He could keep creating for eternity!  I consider it such an honor that I get to be creative too!
