Multi-layer painting.

For painting, which are widely used glaze is needed "smooth" canvas (canvas dogruntovyvaetsya usual palette knife (8-10 layers), then treated with sandpaper).

Painting technique, which is divided into a number of consecutive stages: underpainting, residence, glaze. It is based on the layering of several layers of paint and different from writing technique "on wet" primarily to the fact that here each coat of paint completely dried before applying the next layer.

My multi-layered painting is conducted from start to finish with oil paints. First the underpainting - the first layer of painting. In a multilayer painting glaze is applied - thin, transparent and translucent layers of oil-based paints, which are applied to the well dried out paint layers.

Underpainting - this is the first pictorial layer made a drawing or directly from the ground. Underpainting written diluted liquid oils in order to find the main color and tonal relationships, without details, with the expectation of a future full registration.

Often it is grisaille. Sometimes this is done for underpainting tinted, for example, on the brown ground. Next painting being polupastozno, ie in semitones: thick brush strokes in bright places and thin layers - in the shadows.

The second layer - a residence permit. Registration for underpainting is permissible to begin only after complete drying underpainting. Before working restore color to the previous layer double (oil + pinene) that I use for writing and in the ratio of 4: 5.

Glaze - a thin, transparent layers of paint applied to other, already thoroughly dried. Transparent glaze change the tone - very convenient.. !
