I tried something pretty different with this piece. I usually don't do much of an underpainting, because I don't like to wait for things to dry, so for this one I tried an acrylic underpainting. I guess it was a mix between an underpainting and an outlining...I meant to take photos along the way and of course forgot all about it :) After the underpainting dried I continued with my normal oil painting on top, but made sure to let some of the underpainting show through. I wanted to see if it would help unify the piece. I'm happy with the final product, but it reminded me how much I hate using acrylic paint :)
