Underpainting process, prepping a canvas for a new oil painting

I hope you find this video a little helpful, especially for those wondering about the products and techniques of my underpainting process.
Obviously, there is so much more information we can pack into this topic, but I just wanted to share the basics of "what is underpainting", "what are the benefits", and the process I have developed that works for me.
What work for me won't necessarily work for you, but I will advise experimenting, finding out what you like, and what excites you, and start developing your own way of creating.
I share only a few reasons why I love this process and why I prefer the color, but I can go on and on, finding more reasons why I specifically fell in love with this process.

Thank you for sharing part of your process. I hope you will continue to do so. I look forward to your next video and your helpful tips.

Just to add, it would be better to mix in some matte acrylic medium (not glossy) with the paint if you will use it as an underpainting for oil paints.

O cool, I did not know that. Thank you for the advice. 😁

I ve recently started enjoying the application of gesso to prevent the canvas later on absorbing the paint

[@LizelleStruwigArt]

Yes, Gesso is a great idea! I sometimes apply it as well but not always 😊

Loved your paintings.would pan pastel be ok under an all acrylic paining.?

[@LizelleStruwigArt]

Thank you. Yes it will 😇

[@nancy14balarezo]

What is the name of the applicator with the felt tip?

[@LizelleStruwigArt]

I think it’s just called a panpastel applicator tool 😁

[@ivamlekarova4200]

Can we continue with acrylic after underpainting and not with oil's?

[@LizelleStruwigArt]

Yes of course 😊

[@ahmadridwan74]

So you use acrylic as baground and then finish it with oil painting

[@LizelleStruwigArt]

Yes 👍
