Mother & Child Painting Process

I begin with an open grisaille, which means doing an underpainting in a single color, 

such as burnt umber, burnt sienna, or a blue. this gives you a "tonal map" to guide you

when you begin to add color.

Here I am adding my first layer of color, and continue 

until the canvas is covered with the first layer of paint.

Below is the finished product, adding detail and layers 

until satisfied.
