Work in progress issues with underpainting


Below are three images of today's work in black-and-white acrylic paint. The first is after one days work, well and An hour yesterday. The second image is after another hours work. Yesterday's post put out an outline of how I started as I progressed this painting today I filled over all of the underpainting which was the subject of yesterday's post. I found it quite fustrating to cover the initial drawing done in WetPaint but found that the tone and value wasn't correct. I wanted that underpainting to be a part of the finish painting but this didn't happen as the painting progressed. The idea of the underpainting was to start in a new way and see how this affected the finished painting but in reality all it did was to make a start it was completely covered over by the third photo below. The painting still not finished but I ran out of inspiration for the day and thought it best to work on something else I will post pictures of that something else tomorrow. The next idea would be to create a underpainting which could be seen in the finished painting this is been done before with colour but not in black and white.

If anyone reading this has any ways they start paintings and in regards to underpainting please do feel free to make a comment it would be great to talk please difficulties with other painters struggling with the same issues
