This is the first stage of the painting; an "underpainting" marking all the values in areas of shadow and light. Since the final painting is to be mainly yellows and oranges, the underpainting is done in blue; (which is a Maxfield Parish trick for those of you taking notes) All of my faerie pictures are inspired by locations I've experienced in my home state of Georgia. Nothing can compare to early Fall in the North Georgia mountains with their explosions of fiery colors!

nice stuff craig...i've used this parish trick a lot myself,i will use createx's "ultramarine blue" airbrush paint as my value underpainting,then i'll break out the paintbrush and go over the airbrush underpainting. works with the more common brown underpaintings also.

First thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was, "Maxfield Parish!". I'm glad there are a couple unfinished Parish paintings out there to see the technique and I hope you leave a scan of your under-painting up once the finished work is posted (can hardly wait to see that). Amazing work, Craig! I've never tried the blue under-painting, but looking at your skillful use of the technique, feel inspired to give it a try.
