I moved from impressionistic, somewhat realist (with decent impasto layers) landscape to portrait (oil), and Iwish to paint someday a little bit as the old masters had done. And now that I've found your video, it strengthened the belief in me about the underdrawing. Of course I am really sorry, I didn't find it sooner, for it would've dispersed the oppressing pressure what medium to use for the underdrawing in the last three days. I am quite an analytical man (sometimes), and unfortunately vine charcoal I could not purchase for the time being, yet with sienna and grey soft pastel crayons I remadethe underdrawing, and then with burnt sienna the imprimatura. Yet I have to say, that raw umber looks lovely as well! I was in denial for I got the proportion down quite right at first... with pencil (HB)... but fortunately, I had the time before paint was applied, to erase it off in its entirety from the primed canvas, and redraw it with pastel. Of course, as soon as I get the chance I will use vine charcoal. You are a very skillful and talented artist! Good luck to you, and I wish you many drawings and paintings ahead!
You're much welcome, Damian! I am grateful for the tips, more like "trade"! I really support and will follow your advice by going over the charcoal or soft pastel (as it is also pigment) with lean paint (sienna or umber). Even if it's a bit more work with it (that, however, i enjoy), I don't want to use any alien compounds, to be under the layers of the paintings, it would make me much discomfort even with the passing of many years! i have first used HB pencil, very carefully, producing a ghost-sketch, but i've erased it entirely. I won't use graphite for the underdrawing. Thank you, and keep up the spirit!
Hi, Damian! I will send you pictures of the landscapes already made via email very soon, for the portrait is in progress, and I didn' even finish the imprimatura yet - i am trapped in the details, and the underdrawing took too much time! I have of course learned a lot after redrawing the face some 6 times. Anyway i was studying anatomy for more than a decade now, and have made many portraits and illustrations, yet oil is a whole different world! Although my landscape paintings, without knowing it, even if wishing to paint alla prima, i always was left to leave the layers dry for I never could make in one sitting, and have finished the paintings in no less than one month. But i kept the fat over lean rule of course, and I absolutely agree, that it makes the world to have any kind of an underpainting in the finals - it makes the painting so rich and full of life!
@@MrDamosb I will do that of course! Follow all the steps necessary. I will proceed next with verdaccio, as soon as the imprimatura dries (I will send a picture of that too). I managed to almost finish today the first layer, as it is a 100X70 cm canvas, and has quite a few details, I mean perspective as well that I went to draw in one sitting.

Great videos, I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I have already watched all the videos. Hello from Germany!
