A Tip for Success in Botanical Drawing...

Adding an underpainting to your botanical drawing can help add richness and depth. In this class, Amy will show you how an underpainting – using either a neutral (brown or gray) or a complementary color – can help add range to your drawing. She'll help you understand both types of underpainting methods and when one type of underpainting is preferred over the other, to help develop form in your botanical drawings.

You'll Learn:
• What underpainting is, and how it helps provide depth.
• What complementary colors are and their usefulness.
• The pros and cons of underpainting with a neutral vs. a complement.
