It makes the charcoal/chalk wipe off easy for the next step as well.įor portraits I tend to grid it out. This is just to kill the absorbency for your other layers and to make highlights/shadows stand out for the sketch. I'll color the canvas with a thin layer, usually one of the umbers. That being said, here is a basic outline of how I do it. There are a bunch of ways to do it, from monotone under painting with lairs to thick impasto etc and it really depends on the look your going for and what your comfortable with. I think you can get the same look with either, but you may need to go about it differently with one.
I use both acrylic and oil for portraits. Post not showing up? The vile spambot has probably gobbled it up.
