Oil Painting for Beginners: Easy Layering & White Underpainting Technique | Step-by-Step Tutorial

Welcome to Art of Morrigan!
Master the Art of Layering! In this video, I’ll show you how to define the light areas of your painting using white paint, setting the perfect foundation for glazing and color application. This beginner-friendly technique is a game-changer for achieving realistic skin tones, depth, and luminosity in oil portraits.
This step is crucial because it:
✅ Breaks down painting into easy steps-no more feeling overwhelmed!
✅ Focuses on values first, making color application effortless later.
✅ Prepares the painting for glazing, allowing for smooth and natural skin tones.
✅ Helps you avoid muddy colors and overworked areas.
What You’ll Learn in This Tutorial:
🎨 How to apply Titanium White to build strong highlights.
🖌️ How to scumble and blend for soft transitions.
🌑 Why keeping shadows clean is key for achieving depth.
✨ How to create the illusion of translucency in fabric, like a sheer scarf.
🎭 Why this layering method is perfect for beginners and eliminates frustration.
This technique is inspired by classical oil painting methods, like those used in Pre-Raphaelite art and fantasy illustration. If you struggle with blending, color mixing, or creating realistic light effects, this method will make your life so much easier!
