Pastel and Watercolor work beautifully together! I love to create a vibrant watercolor underpaintings for my pastel paintings.

In this lesson, you will see the real time footage of how I create a watercolor underpainting. I include my tips and techniques along with the reasoning of "why" many artists love underpaintings that are loose and colorful. 

You will also learn about the products I use and there are clickable links below. 

But first.... why an underpainting? This is a question I get all the time and this lesson will be a great way for you to get those answers. Here is a summary:

WHY AN UNDERPAINTING?
1. To create a loose and painterly beginning
2. To establish basic shapes and values
3. To create color excitement
4. To give yourself a road map or guide for your painting
5. It's fun!
