Progress Shots
The images below show you the overall progress of the painting from start to finish. I started on a blank canvas and painted it with a mixture of gesso and burnt sienna.This is called a toned ground (or coloured ground).
There are several reasons why artists do this. Personally I do it for two reasons. The first is that the gesso creates a nice smooth layer and prevents my paint from getting soaked into the canvas. The next layers basically lay on top of it. I add the Burnt Sienna to the gesso so I don’t have the white spots showing through my paint in case my other layers did not cover the entire canvas.
Many artists also use this first layer to create tonal values, which serves as the foundation to build on top of. At times I do this too, but in this case the first layers were more to cover my canvas and to make sure my overal composition looked good. Anyway, here are some progress shots of the piece:
