Today was the day for underpaintings. Most high schoolers don't understand the importance or idea of an underpainting, but I've learned that it can definitely influence a piece. Wertz and I were trying to explain that to everyone - a white background will be much less successful than a treated background, regardless of what color(s). Some used gesso, which is always a good option, but then used acrylics on top. I was impressed with where some of the kids are headed with theirs. They were able to identify which colors would serve as a good ambient layer for the rest of their paintings.
