Monarch Nosferatu--PAINTING (II): Undercoating 1

As I said in the last posting. . . "Let the painting begin!"

Given the scale of the project, the fact that it is essentially achromatic, and in the interest of moving things along, I decided to apply the undercoating with the airbrush. Legs and shoes were u/c'ed in Floquil (lacquers) Dull Black; while the frock (save for the cuffs) was u/c'ed in a mix of Dull Black and Roof Brown: the latter yielded an interesting very dark, warm grigio-verde that allows for a number of possibilities when it comes time to apply the oils. . .

The head will be u/c'ed entirely in acrylics with a brush.
