A New Underpainting Technique with InkTense Blocks / Pastel Painting Tutorial

Join me in this pastel painting tutorial as I share a new technique for creating an underpainting with Derwent InkTense Blocks (link for product below).

While I have used InkTense Blocks for underpaintings before, I have never broken down the large shapes of my reference image in this way and I thought others might like to try.

Here are the Steps:
1. The Underpainting was created on un-sanded Canson Mix Media paper.

2. Product applied to add grit to surface: 2 Parts Clear Liquid Gesso / 1 part Marble Dust (but you can use just the clear gesso).

3. Apply pastels once Gesso has dried.
