Underpaint

Nina B. used to say, “It’s all underpaint.”

This is the canvas I restretched a few days ago. (Please ignore the flash glare.) I primed it with acrylic matte medium instead of gesso, since the base coats are going to be acrylic, and I wanted the color of the canvas to (hopefully!) show through. I don’t know where this is going, for sure, but earlier today I had an idea for prepping the canvas for a sister painting. More on that later this weekend, hopefully.

And, now, I must go park my ass in front of the television. Survivor started 20 minutes ago, and I’m missing it. Thank the Invisible Pink Unicorn for DVRs!
