Priming Sketchbook Pages
Priming the painting surface with an abstract color field is a great way to energize a field study done in opaque media.
I like to prime a few pages in my watercolor book with abstract color shapes in casein
. If you don’t have casein, you can use tinted gesso or acryla gouache
. In this case, the underpainting is a random yellow shape surrounded by a tint of blue, which gives me some colors to build on. When I arrive at a motif I choose a page with an intriguing priming that fits the subject. In this case, a a cluster of flowers that I'm attracted to resembles the shape of the underpainting.
Sometimes I cover up the underpainting completely with the final gouache or casein, and sometimes I let the priming colors show through, but the priming always influences the painting.

Here's a snippet from my next video tutorial "Flower Painting in the Wild," which releases Monday, August 21. I'll show you four flower paintings from the first to the final touches. Michael Klein has previewed the video and calls it "a treat for any artist."
