Tel’nii Podmalyovok

Alright, now we have reached the exciting stage of adding color. This consists of two ‘Tel’nii Podmalyovok’ layers, which comprise the fifth and sixth painting layers.

I have only begun this stage, and already, I have learned that my underpainting was a bit dark, yet I still want to work as transparently as possible.

In the first of these two layers, the goal is to go half a tone lighter, and two tones lighter in color, and half a tone darker, and two tones lighter in shadows. This will be again repeated in the sixth layer.
