This is so helpful! I like the richness that the warm base wash gave the painting. I definitely want to give this a go for my next painting. Thank you!

That was so cool! I love how you get different vibes with the background color! I always wondered why artists put down a neutral background. Now I understand! I loved them all. It would be helpful if you told us the brush type and size when you change. You switched to a small brush so I thought 00 but I saw a 4 on it! I paint dogs on mugs with underglaze so watching how you do it helps me a lot. Underglaze isn't exactly like oils though, it a bit harder for me but I keep trying!

What a wonderful experiment! That was a fun watch! Nice shapes in the wolves and values…BRAVO! My favorites were the last two for sure 🎉

WOW!!! I never thought of using different color bases. Thank you so much!❤

Thank you very Much for sharing your experience with us. I will try to remember to give the white canvas a color wash 😊

Thank you. I needed some confirmation. I use different values of burnt sienna, (depending on what I'm painting) as a mid tone for my undercoat.
My painting always come out warmer and more realistic looking. I'll never paint on stark white canvas again. Great tutorial, thanks 🖌🙂.

Beautiful experiment, I would say those 3 wolves are crossing the season s - spring, summer and winter. Thanks so much for being such a reat instructor and Artist. 🌈❤👌✨

I would go for Brown. White is wash-out. Blue is out - there is plenty of blue on the wolf distracts from the whole.
Beautiful all the same!

I’ve been dying to try this, but my pallet is a white tile and I was afraid I would have a problem mixing my values correctly, I thought I would need a brown pallet to match values....so I chickened out😂, gonna give it a go tho thanks for another great tip ❤
