The Making of a Painting, The Brook

I this painting I will be starting with an underpainting of Old Holland Acrylic Naphtol-Vermillon. For this I have mixed the pigment with approximately 1/2 water to make it thinner. You may be able to see that the drawing can be seen under the paint. It does show up more in person.

This underpainting will unify the top painting and give it a glow that can not be duplicated. The scene is rather dark and I want to get the feeling of light on the water.
