This is a loose color study over
a black and white oil grisaille
(underpainting).
Painting this way is really fun,
because you do a black and white
version first, let it dry, and then
paint over it.
This is the way oil paintings were
first done in the 14th/15th Centuries.
I painted into a wet glaze of Gamblin's
Transparent Earth Red, a wonderful,
all-around useful color that I have used
many times for this same technique.
