Underpainting block in

Sketch

I start with sketching in the composition, always checking balance and placement
of each shape. Next, I start blocking in with a thin wash of either color or
burnt sienna. I then start adding paint, concentrating on values and shapes.
 To finish, my goal is to give it strength, stronger color in areas where needed, making
sure my values are where they belong. Light to strong darks on the value scale.
