Digital Underpainting

🖥️ Blend digital precision with traditional expression in this hybrid portrait painting demo.
In this 4-hour session, Raymond begins in Photoshop to lay down a strong digital underpainting—then transitions to oils for a full, layered finish.

You’ll learn how to:
💡 Understand how light interacts with facial structure
🎯 Use accurate values while making creative adjustments
🖌️ Mount your digital work for seamless traditional painting
🎨 Build color and depth through deliberate layering
🌑 Push lights and darks to refine and resolve your final image

This is a clear, thoughtful look at mixing media—and mastering light from sketch to signature.
