I painted over the drawing with a line brush. I used a dark mix of Raw Umber and Ultramarine Blue with Liquin. I allowed this to dry overnight and then brushed in the underpainting using Liquin again. Once the Liquin is dry it won't come off when I paint over it. So if I need to rub off an area ( or the entire painting - it has happened) I won't lose my drawing.
Now with my underpainted drawing safe, I can play with the brush when applying paint.
It's going well and I am having a lot of fun. So why not....
Start another! I think a companion piece will be fun to try. I will paint both at the the same time and hopefully keep the staging process the same. That way I am sure to use the same colors. So I need to catch up to the first.

So beautiful!
Thanks again for sharing your process. In step demos I often have a question about the drying stage which is often not explained. Some artists let their under painting dry before continuing and some do not. I'm always asking myself in a loud voice,"did you let it dry first?!!!!". You are so nice...
Thank you for sharing
This fabulous work with us
See you
Beautiful!! I love the way you've started with a subtle underpainting. And, the painting is very inviting!
