City: Chesapeake, Garland, Joliet, Mesquite, Newport NewsThis is an Imprimatura Bistre - the “first layer” of paint that I believe is critical if you want luminosity in your paintings… and it's the way I start all my daytime landscape paintings. For the Imprimatura, I’m using Transparent Earth Red oil paint (plus a little cadmium orange) thinned with odorless mineral spirits. For the Bistre My Web Page I’ve rubbed out highlights with a simple paper towel. And like magic, you can already start to see the bones of the painting. 👉 Seriously, if you want to learn about this Imprimatura-Bistre underpainting technique, be sure to grab a copy of my ebook -- "Begin with an Imprimatura" -- explains everything, including a step-by-step guide. {It’s free!} Look for the link in my bio, visit the next page Highlights or Stories @laynejohnsonstudio (or here: WIP Oil on linen 24"x36” ______________________________ Music: “Battle of Wits” by composer Cody Martin navigate to this website #oilpainting #Imprimatura
