Martin started his creative life in the photographic industry at sixteen, after which he progressed to becoming a design and illustration artist. In this course I will show you in step by step stages how to do an effective composition drawing in charcoal first and then teach you how to make an Imprimatura Underpainting so you know exactly where to put the colours on the canvas ready for when you start to paint. Therefore it's not only quick and easy to do but it's very cost effective as your not spending lots of time mixing colours up before hand. Your able to make large scale changes to your painting with ease right from the start making sure your composition is just as you want it to be before committing to paint. On a 120cm (4 foot) wide canvas a basic Imprimatura underpainting without putting in any detail can easily be completed within 45 minutes or so. If you think about it a forest has lots of dark areas and so the Inprimatura underpainting method is ideal as by putting in the dark, medium and light areas you will get likeness and form very quickly.Īnother benefit is speed, its such a fast way to paint.
Just to be clear this is not the only way to paint but it is a good way to paint most things and a forest is certainly one subject that works particularly well with. This technique is hundreds of years old and is in fact my favourite way of starting a painting. Learn how to improve your paintings by first doing a charcoal composition drawing and then starting the painting process with an Imprimatura underpainting.
