As Yet Untitled

I'm going to post my progress on this painting through the different processes; this should be fun.  This stage is setting up the basic composition and establishing under paint.  It's what I often refer to as the ugly stage and paintings here can often take a turn.  I struggled with a subject I did not want to paint, painted it in twice and painted it out, and now I'm on track with a new subject.  Here the paint is thin and easily covered.  Under paint always adds to the character of the finished work.  This painting is four and a half feet tall and six and a half feet wide, acrylic on canvas, soon to be acrylic collage on canvas.
