My underpainting is executed in acrylic paint, just blocking in basic colors and defining shapes and areas and how they relate to each other. It is much faster to work in acrylic rather than oils or alkyd when working out the initial color scheme. This is a great way to establish a simple map of the painting and to foresee any problems that may arise later on. I don't worry about exact colors or any real detail, just a general impression of how things should look.
The Art of Richard De Wolfe is intended to show how I make my art, things that interest me creatively, and what I am working on at the moment. If what you find here interests you, please 'bookmark me', come back often and visit my Gallery, too!
