You\u2019ve heard me going on about doing your thumbnails right? But then comes the natural question: How do I go from thumbnail to underpainting? Goooood question.\u00a0It\u2019s all well and good creating thumbnails but then what?? And the easy answer is this – make a colour copy of your thumbnail right on your paper. Yup, it\u2019s as simple as that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s have a look at a few of my recent pieces to show the step from thumbnail to underpainting. You\u2019ll see how all the underpaintings echo the thumbnails.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The first selection is a jug full of flowers. You can see in the thumbnail the one area of light. And can you see it again in the pastel underpainting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next up are three paintings from my Gallery Goers theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the thumbnail below, you can see there are only two areas of dark. They take up a relatively small amount of space in the design. In the underpainting, I\u2019ve created those same dark areas with a deep intense blue while the middle value is applied in an ochre colour and the light in a pale blue. You can see how I lay down the thumbnail pattern in colours and values that correspond to the same values of each area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this next painting, the dominant value<\/a> is a middle value with only a smidge of dark in the person\u2019s head, pants, and reflection on the floor. While working on the painting, I realised that I\u2019d forgotten to include the reflection of the painting where it darkened the floor. I liked the darkness in the foreground and decided to include it even though it\u2019s not in my thumbnail (gasp!). Ideally, I would have done a thumbnail of the new design. (This is what I always<\/em> tell my students to do! It’s a matter of: Do what I say, not what I do!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing, the size relationship between painting and person is off in the thumbnail but decreasing the size of the figure. You’ll see there’s a strip of paper untouched by pastel. Just hadn’t added the light (yellow) before snapping the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The painting of the Three Ladies<\/em> is light-dominant. There are a few areas of dark and if you look at the initial underpainting, you\u2019ll see that I forgot to replicate one of those areas from the thumbnail in the underpainting. Do you see where? This was soon rectified and appears in the final painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next painting was done en plein air. The thumbnail was done very quickly but I jotted down my three value choices. The darks are the door and the pots. You\u2019ll see in the thumbnail that I also added some dark to represent the tree branches in the upper left but as I wanted these to be added as I needed them in the painting, I didn\u2019t include them in the underpainting. This is unusual as I generally copy my thumbnail onto the pastel paper as is. Sometimes, however, I change things up. I never want to paint in a completely formulaic way!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, a painting from my Dog Walkers theme. The middle value is certainly dominant here! Can you see how the underpainting echoes the thumbnail?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these sets pretty much shows how I go from thumbnail to underpainting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be asking how I choose the colours for the underpainting. Sometimes I choose an opposite temperature. Sometimes I look for an underlying colour. Sometimes I exaggerate what\u2019s there. And sometimes it can be a bit of a random choice. The most important thing is I pick a hue that corresponds to the value area of my thumbnail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the colours are relative to one another – one is lighter and another darker and another darker still. This is the most important consideration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were there any surprises here? Did the step from thumbnail to underpainting make sense? Let me know in the comments below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gail<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS. I go DEEP into the subject of choosing first layer (underpainting) colours in my Pastels 101 signature course<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
