Swimmer 2

A drawing in and blue the background for the painting of Sandra Bullock. First draw soluble pencil outline then light blue in the background leaving the head and figure ready for under painting. Under paint the shadows and tones with skin tone and next the hair and shadows with a purple weak dark tone. At this stage I use watercolour to pick out the undercoat tones then mix a little weak acrylic to seal the watercolour. Why watercolour well it can be played with washes and balances of colour. I always intended to do this step by step it was a little more difficult on canvas to paint this larger version on canvas which does not act the same as thick watercolour paper.
