Underpainting Techniques: Fruit Baskets
🍇 Build your painting from the ground up. In this 9+ hour still-life demo, Raymond Bonilla walks you through how to use underpainting as the backbone of form, value, and color—so your final work stands strong, not just pretty.
You’ll learn how to:
🎨 Construct a controlled value and line structure before touching full color—to improve accuracy and coherence in your paintings.
🔍 Separate shape, line, value and color into manageable steps—so each stage has clarity, intention and purpose.
🖌 Apply a time-tested underpainting technique to modern still life—bringing form, texture, and depth to everyday objects (in this case: baskets of fruit) with confidence.
Ideal for still life painters of intermediate to advanced skill who want to upgrade the foundation of their process—so the final color phase isn’t just about “finishing”, but about meaningful choice and structure. Runtime: 9+ hours
