I tried something different – painting on a prepared dark background. It has a different effect and I will try it a few more times to see how it goes.
I’m a bit tired today having stayed up far too late watching a recording of The Killing – series 2 – brilliant stuff and what a jumper! My Danish is coming on a treat.
Curious to know what you started with as your background?
Well what I mean is that I painted an all-over dark ground – burnt umber/french ultramarine, let it dry and painted onto that so it’s a little like mezzotint, working up the light tones.
