I found my neutral underpaying produced the best portrait i ever painted. I also found at first, i struggled with the gray scale way of painting. I learned more about my skils as an artist. Great job. I love to watch you paint
You are incredibly talented, and it’s such a joy to watch your time-lapse paintings come to life! Just playing devil’s advocate here… Since you completed the first painting before tackling the second painting with the underpainting, it gave you more practice with the same subject, which could naturally lead to an improved outcome on the second painting. (And there I go saying “painting” too many times! 😊) Your observations and insights from this process are so inspiring-they’ve got me wanting to try it myself. If you ever wanted to dive even deeper into testing the method, you could try it with a new subject: start with the underpainting for the first piece, and then paint the second one without it. Either way, I absolutely love what you do! Keep it up!
One thing you might want to consider is how the order of the paintings factor into it. You have gain much experience developing the skin tones for values and color accuracy from the first painting making the second painting easier. You may want to try to experiment again doing the under painting painting first and see if you arrive at the same outcome.
The underpainting one looks more vibrant. I dont know how to say but it almost looks that zhe shadows on the underpainting one are softer. Thank you for sharing
Great paintings! However, I found that the B/W underpainting makes the whole image darker (because of the heavy black underneath) and less vivid. In my opinion, it is better to use underpainting of a color such as Burnt Umber. Thanks for your videos!

Wonderful lesson💕💞💕💞💕💞 thank you!
First of all, a beautiful painting both ways but, the portrait with the underpainting definitely looks richer and finished beautifully 👌🏻💜🎨
Brilliant 😊
This was very interesting. I will paint my next portrait on an underpainting of acrylic values. Thank you Lyn.
Amazing work i have alot to learn
Yes, it is interesting. It’s all Greek to me, yet still interesting. Thanks! 💜💜💜
Wonderful video, I found it very useful. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it and explaining things do well.
Thank you so much!😊
I didn’t think it would make such a difference but the underpainting definitely does. Very interesting video.
Really useful Lydia, thanks for the demonstration.
I learned a lot from this project. Beautiful outcome on both but can see #2 is improved. Love it!
Thank you!!!
This was super helpful. Painting skin tones always makes my eye twitch. It's a real challenge.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Yes... Skin tones can be challenging indeed.
Very interesting!
You made this look way too easy🙂 very interesting and instructional.
Thank you!!!❤
Thanks for explaining your methods so well. Definitely going to try the underpainting method.. love your art
Thank you, Michelle!!!😊

That is a fair point. Thank you!
def like the underpainting better! smoother, like you said!❤
Thanks, Kim!!!
i love you because this lady just made a fighter pilot paint flowers and landscapes on a canvas😂
That was really interesting...cud u pls make a video on how to paint in ala prima?
Great! Thanks for that ❤
Valuable information on both portraits. Do you use a laser printer for the photo copy reference? As the color is so rich..

Thank you!😊
Both versions are superb 👌❤❤❤ but perhaps the difference can be better appreciated in person
Thank you! It's so true. It's a more noticeable difference in person.❤
Quite interesting
