Underpainting vs no underpainting? That is the question. In this full tutorial, it is my hope to demonstrate the benefits of underpainting. In the first half of this lesson, I will demonstrate an underpainting of pear and in the second half of this tutorial, I will demonstrate the colour layers as well as do a comparison with a pear that hasn't had an underpainting so you can see for yourself which one you like the best.

[@roswilson1305]

This is a brilliant video. So clear and gives us time to make notes.

[@MazArtStudio]

@@roswilson1305 glad you have enjoyed it

[@reb5824]

Definitely! Most artists that I follow. Suggest an underpainting! I personally try them myself ! Thanks for this!

[@MrMalcovic]

Does this apply to acrylics as well?

[@1755ma]

The underpainting adds a depth and richness that the other painting lacks. Excellent video presentation. You've made me a true believer. Thank you for the insight.

[@chrisjaytabarejo1180]

I have never been to art school and all of my endeavors have been based on the tutorials available on KZbin. This video has explained succinctly the importance of doing an underpainting. I have done watercolor, oil pastel and acrylic. Now I am venturing into oil paints and this has to be one of the most useful videos in terms of technical content for a beginner like me. Thank you so much.

[@MazArtStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@timrose1693]

Your under painting version is much more beautiful but I also feel that you favored it throughout the process. There are artist like David Leffel, Jeff Legg, Sherry McGraw and so many others that paint in a beautiful way and achieve spectacular results without going through the under painting process. That is one of the wonderful things about art, painting, we all do it our own way and hopefully find a way to achieve our goal and vision.

[@MazArtStudio]

I absolutely agree wholeheartedly. There’s more than one way there are many many ways. This works well for me and it’s good to share that. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting it’s appreciated.

[@nitinh2499]

Excellent video! I’m trying the underpainting method now on a couple of paintings, and this is very helpful. Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge 👍🏼👍🏼

[@philiptownsend4026]

I remember my old art teacher used to say " it doesn't matter how you do art, just do it"

[@warrenc1829]

Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@philiptownsend4026]

Tim, You talk about "going through the underpainting process" as if it were onerous. It is easier, largely separating considerations of value and colour and the results can be truly beautiful. It also saves on expensive pigments and achieves a beautiful deep glowing colour. I am about to tackle to tackle my version of Klimt's Woman in Gold with acrylic underpainting, size 24x36 inches, substituting my wife's face (because she asked me) in indirect method with oil glazes. The relief swirls will be done in acrylic from a syringe and needle of the type used to refill ink cartridges before overpainting with metallic gold. Have done that before - it works. The same method can be used for jewels and jewellery. Have yet to decide upon acrylic/oil for the rest of the painting. Acrylic might be easier but oils would give a better painting.

[@carleyanneart8068]

I know some artists don’t like doing an underpainting because they feel the colours are more vibrant when painted straight on a white canvas and you can see that’s true here. I think underpaintings lend well for some paintings and not so much for others. It all depends on what you’re painting! I do them sometimes and not at other times 😌 great video!

[@MazArtStudio]

Absolutely. It’s great to see this comparison so people can decide. I like to mix things up so do different techniques BUT I do always come back to underpainting for pets/portrait & still life I just love the look. Thanks for commenting and glad you enjoyed it.

[@ScottLufkin]

I like to use under paining colors (usually a red/brown) for anything where I don't have a sky.

[@1Thedairy]

Some artists use both methods in their painting but I do think you get more texture and transparency in paintings with an under painting.

[@otmargreb6110]

Good effects. Much work but worth it... Your art will show your work efforts and pay off...

[@markborder906]

Great tip on using an eraser. I have been painting for 40 odd years and had never come across or thought about using these. Thank you.

[@MazArtStudio]

You are welcome the typist erasers are great for tiny details.

[@nancylawler9052]

What a great way to show and teach the underpainting method. You convinced me that this is how artists I know get the classical look of the masters. I know it is never too late to learn. I am still working on watercolor painting and enjoy that medium, but this has convinced me to watch you, learn and hopefully will get the courage to expirence oil painting with underpainting. Thank you so much for the enlightment. Nancy L, Maine USA

[@MazArtStudio]

You are welcome I love watercolour but oils are my first love. Enjoy exploring.

[@teresalubrin1331]

Beautiful and clear demonstration. I have very much enjoyed it. I will certainly use the underpainting. Thank you for your videos.

[@annihull6373]

Thank you for your expertise. You make the ideas approachable for novices. Would underpainting work with watercolor? I'm just learning and watercolor feels safer than oil, but one day.....😃@@MazArtStudio

[@philiptownsend4026]

I think it is the other way round actually. Watercolour requiring much more courage than oil for a beginner. But that's just me.

[@LightshamanaDhyana]

I like watercolor underpinning, than acrylic and finally water mixable oil. I get all the strength of these mediums. Canvas must be prepped w home-made watercolor ground. Watercolor layer, fix it. Than mid range colors w acrylic first lean w watermixable oil medium and water mix1 to 10.1 part medium, 10 part water.Golden acrylic play beautifully with this mix. Dries within hours to a day. And finally, the wamo oil paint. Some parts just medium over the watercolor or acrylic layers. The final result is a truly deep 3D painting. I know this is lots of work, but the result is well worth it.

[@katherinepotts3723]

I have been painting for a good few years now but this is the first demonstration I have seen not only showing under painting but comparing results. Extremely useful. Will be giving it a try at art club tomorrow. Much appreciated.

[@MazArtStudio]

You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it

[@hazelhendersonhoggan3292]

So nice to have a very detailed instructional video again on here. The underpainting technique is something I had never heard of before I discovered you. Love it. Thanks x

[@MazArtStudio]

Thanks Hazel glad you enjoyed the lesson.

[@zhangyongzhen123]

You’re a great teacher, explain very well, love underpainting one!!

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you ☺️

[@user-sb3wh3dd4v]

Both versions are splendid! The visible difference is in the mood that underpainting makes. If trying to imitate the old master's style, the underpainting seems more appropriate. If we want a more modern or faster approach, the bright clear colors ( colours) of the direct method is beautiful too.

[@MazArtStudio]

Absolutely agree! It’s all about those choices. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@caronboler4048]

Ten minutes in and I’ve learnt so much already. I thank you.

[@MazArtStudio]

Excellent I’m glad you found it valuable

[@patriciajoubert426]

Watching you paint I learned a lot. I have been so afraid to use oils, tho I want to. You showed me ways for it not to be overwhelming. I liked both versions of the painting. One seemed the underpaid Ted one seemed heavier than the other, and of course more structured. I had never come across so clear a teaching of underpainting. I like the way you paint and teach. Thanks.

[@MazArtStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@GeoffreyLaureate]

Wow! This is such a great exercise. I love the idea of seeing the going-that-extra-mile-in-the-preparation-stages manifesting in such an artistically rich way. Yes, your pear without the underpainting is beautiful. But your pear with the underpainting is luscious and almost holy. There is an unspoken connection, comfort and peace than comes to the soul when it's touched by the brilliance of an artist's full circle process. Thank you for sharing these moments, broken down into super understandable bite-sized chunks. And thank you for all the bonus material in the links within your description box. Huge bonus!!

[@MazArtStudio]

You are very welcome glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@tchakhtchoukha]

Thanks to you after years of trying to understand what an underpainting does I now I can see the difference and understand more what my paintings lack to be more effective!! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you ☺️

[@wendywoodward5962]

love this it not only teaches about underpainting it is teaching me where and how to hold the brushes for different strokes and thicknesses as i feel i have always been to heavy with the paint. when i can get back to painting i am going to practice the way you hold your brushes and how far up or down the brush you hold them. thanks a million.

[@MazArtStudio]

You are welcome hun. Be good to see you back painting 🥰

[@gerritraub6775]

You are amazing because you explain every step so clearly and completely...of course, there is no comparison vs the two techniques...underpainting obviously creates a deeper, richer painting. Thank you so much. I love all of your videos, and you are the reason I began painting just a few months ago, and watching your videos gives me so much inspiration.

[@MazArtStudio]

Aww that really pleases me when I read things like this, I am chuffed I have been part of your journey…keep enjoying it. I am glad you found the tutorial helpful

[@jerrylosik8706]

Great learning experience. I appreciate watching how organized and efficient your paint gradations are and explanations of color mixing.

Absolutely beautiful job! The underpainting really does add so much depth

[@MazArtStudio]

You know, I've read about underpainting and heard it mentioned previously, but you really did a great job of the show and tell here in this video. Clear as day what a difference it makes. Thank you.

[@MazArtStudio]

Thanks so much I appreciate that ☺️

[@ArtBlueCrane]

I haven’t painted with oils in a few years and I’m jumping back in this week. I was stoked when this video randomly crossed my feed. I needed to get “back to basics” and admittedly never heard of underpainting with burnt umber before. It’s going really well! Thank you for such a great video! It’s great for beginners and for folks who have oil painting experience but need a refresher, or even to have their minds changed on “to underpaint or not to underpaint!” So again, HUGE THANKS!

[@MazArtStudio]

Aww 🥰 I’m so pleased you enjoyed it & thank you for the lovely comments much appreciated

[@tracythetrickster9895]

So helpful! The underpainting REALLY makes a difference in terms of depth of color which gives us a more 3D look.

I love the way the under painting gives depth and dimension to the painting. That is the way my art teacher taught me to paint and it really does make painting easier.

[@MazArtStudio]

Yes it really does breaking down the process. Glad you enjoyed it

[@thechurchofnewbeginningsro5607]

I have been looking for a video on this for several weeks. I didn’t really understand why it was important to do an underpainting. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and show the difference.

[@MazArtStudio]

You are welcome 🤗

[@mybahe1]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this tutorial! As a beginner painter, I have to admit I prefer the undercoated one. IMHO. You are the first one I have found on KZbin who takes the time to actually teach each step of the way in a fashion that we can keep up with! Otherwise, it's really no use to us as far as helping us to learn the who's and what's, where's and how's! Thank you!💕

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it

[@susancunniffart]

I am amazed by the difference the underpainting makes. I also love that you use such thin layers - a very appealing approach for me. I am a pastel painter just venturing in to oils and always use very thin layers to build up the painting. In fact, yesterday I made my first oil painting - very rudimentary - so I can't wait to find an approach that works for me.

[@MazArtStudio]

Excellent glad you enjoyed it

[@astridtermaat3854]

That is such a big difference! Thanks for sharing, very beautiful

Never even heard of an “under painting” . Thanks a million.

You are welcome & lots of luck with your painting enjoy the journey. ☺️

[@robmclemore9987]

As a new painter, this demonstration was immensely valuable for demonstrating how to apply an under-painting and the reason why an under-painting is valuable. The difference between the two paintings is striking.

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you I’m delighted you found it helpful

[@346UNCLEBOB]

This is an exceptionally well made and informative video. My thanks for sharing it. The richness and depth the underpainting is remarkable. I shall certainly give this method a try.

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Good luck in your painting

[@kathleenkorynta4805]

I really appreciate your style. I could never understand the reason for a blobbed on underpainting that some artists use. I understand now how an underpainting with your style can enhance a painting! Thank you for showing me how to apply an underpainting. You are very thorough in your explanations, and I appreciate that very much.

[@MazArtStudio]

Thank you hun. I appreciate your comments.

[@hopefullyharmonious6950]

What a great tutorial. Makes it look so very simple & for me, I do like the under painted style. However, I am surprised at the look you can get even without it. I can say there might be rare times I might want to try a painting without it. Thanks for such a great demonstration, clearly done. Lovely studies!

[@MazArtStudio]

Absolutely spot on!! I love underpainting but I also love painting without it too. I tend to use underpainting for pet portrait and portraits when I want to be more exact of for something classical like a still life. But I love painting wet into wet (alla prima) too. It’s great to change things up and have these tools in our tool kit right ? Thank you for your comments they are truly appreciated 🥰

[@jenniferbeebe7592]

Wonderful tutorial! I can see benefits to both sides. The shape and structure is so much better with the under painting but the colors seem to pop more without. I guess it depends on what you are painting. Thank you for your help!

[@MazArtStudio]

Yes it’s a personal preference definitely!

[@kathleenhutter4412]

Definitely see the strength of the value of the underpainting. I actually love using an underpainting and feel it adds to the richness and depth of the painting, which you so aptly demonstrated here. Well done 🙂

You're a wonderful teacher. And there's a lot to learn from you. Underpainting reminds me of a camera with a certain feature for special effects.

You are my Angel! At last, an artist tells me/shows me how to do the underpainting. I'm so grateful to you - waited 71 year's and I've finally got it. Thank you.
