Beginning a Painting

 
This little monochrome painting was done with burnt sienna.
This is taken from my copyrighted manuscript: "The Artist's Toolbox" 
 
Robert Wood and Maxfield Parrish almost always began serious works with an ultramarine blue monochrome under painting representing the values intended for the finished work.  Others use a grey green.  In any case it is a great way to get started and to solve problems early on, provide a unifying color and some color variations.  Yellow ochre provides a great base.  Try it, you'll like it.
