Paint in the cool dark colours first, then add warm colours and lastly some blending with oils.
Monochrome under-painting
We will start our surreal egg paintings by creating illusions of form and space using one dark colour and white. (A monochrome) This is a very old traditional technique used by Vermeer.
However, we will use acrylics for our monochrome because it dries faster. Mix your own dark - try and avoid using black. Remember to work into both figure and ground.
We will work over the monochrome (the 'grisaille') with local (representational) colours.
Lastly, we will use oil paints to blend and adjust the colours and tones.
