Creating a dark value painting with a bright base layer 🌷 This is one of my favorite techniques - layering deep, moody colors over a bright underpainting and then scribbling through while the paint’s still wet to let those vibrant tones peek through. The key is restraint - don’t cover it all! Leaving just a few edges or shapes of the base color visible adds depth, energy, and that unexpected spark that keeps the eye moving. 🏷️ Abstract Painting Techniques, Layering Paint For Depth, Dark And Li
