Once the image is blocked in, I work to separate the big shapes into smaller shapes by adding value and color. Once the underpainting is set, I can finesse the image, cleaning edges, adding darks, or removing color.\r\u003cbr\u003eI usually paint the image with exaggerated color not competing with the photo reference, I am striving to find the excitement that compelled me to paint it in the first place.\r\u003cbr\u003eThe photo reference is a valuable guide but I let the painting speak to me and it tells me where to go and what to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/helloart.com\/fr\/collections\/guy-magallanes.oembed","provider":"helloart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
