    I love this (including the rather inspired intro). The headlines are still hilarious on 4th watch! 🤣 And the art history snippet made me go away and look up the early history of Frida. Thank you for sharing this video. Brilliant!

    • @mygeekfamilycotton
      @mygeekfamilycotton  2 роки тому +2

      Hi Kirsten! Good question! There are several unfinished paintings from Frida Kahlo (most notably her self portrait in Detroit from 1932) and they actually don’t appear to have any underpainting. It looks like she was sketching her subject and starting to place the base colors directly. So, no underpainting (like a Rembrandt would do, for exemple), but she was later adding the shadows and lights to her mid-tones. Hope this helps!

    How do you paint a portraiture ? the different colors that you use for different planes of face (after shadows) seems very complicated.
