Draw thumbnail sketch on paper first
Block-in light & shadow
No detail
Then start painting on canvas or a fresh piece of paper
The painting doesn’t have to follow the sketch
What’s the procedure?

Paint from thin to thick, allow each layer to dry, block in the whole composition

1. Underpainting:Use black, white, brown and blue to do a “limited palette” panting.
2. Then use full-color on top of the first layer.

Picasso
Experiment
Every picture doesn’t have to work.
The public only sees the ones that do.
![Page 26: Color that Sings](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a6483097f8b9a27568b55f9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Practice, practice, practice
Not to make a perfect picture
But to live your life the way
you want to.
