Egg Tempera:
Underpainting
Egg tempera underpainting for current project,
Korte Sint
Anna straat, May 2009, 59 x 30 cm.
The contrast of light in this alley view is
my main interest. That will be stated quite clearly once
again in the imprimatura, so in the egg tempera level my
interest was in getting some clear statements down
regarding color. Then the
successive oil levels each became an alla prima study of
both color and light.
