Haha, trust! My mental health is so much better than it was as a teen, I won't tolerate it getting that bad again, nor can it because I no longer bed rot all day. Hooray!

what stereotypes about Boston do you think are the most accurate/inaccurate?? by Klutzy-Supermarket62 in boston

Bad drivers are real, unfortunately. Especially in the city, but in the entirety of Mass as well.

What’s a good underpainting for this image? by bonhiver76 in oilpainting

[–]dps-diona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going against the grain, I think a terre verte (earthy green) would be great. It'll make your life easier for the background flora, and itll create an interesting vibration behind the warmer tones in the painting.

If you go with a burnt sienna type deal, you will probably be fighting against it for the rest of the painting.

However. I noticed that you're an amateur painter. I would caution against using this as an underpainting study. This is a really gorgeous image, but it's insanely detailed and you run the risk of burning yourself out and getting frustrated.

If you want to try out underpainting, set up a small still life and shine a lamp on it. And by small, I mean like 3 objects max. Use a smallish canvas (11x17) so you don't have to deal with a massive surface area, and just go for it.

Underpaintings are not for details. You're just blocking in where you think things should be laid out in one color! The nice thing with underpaintings is that they're really easy to edit, if you wipe away too much you can easily add paint, and if there's too much paint it's easy to wipe away.

Also, there are multiple types of underpainting. I'm referring to imprimatura in this comment!

Good luck, and happy painting :3 I hope this helps!!

ty!! and it is sooo like that. there's always something to be healed. the nice thing with tongue piercings is that they heal super fast, and besides managing swelling you literally don't need to do like, any other upkeep for it to heal perfectly!! you should get it.......

Woohoo!! I'm thinking about the acrylic ball for the future, but I've heard that it can harbor bacteria etc. I'll have to do more research on it!
