I started this painting last week, and now here it is on our second week. I’m finally getting the hang of this underpainting thing and I’m feeling much more confident about it. After three hours I’m not tempted to throw it in the trash can — I think that’s a good sign.

(sorry about that terrible glare…)

Also, Justin said I could start incorporating white into my paintings! Every step gets me closer to full color. Now it’s a race to see if I can get there before Little Dude pops out….shall we place bets?

Oh, and on an unrelated note, have you checked out my family’s new Frugal Blog? My mom, my sister and I are writing it. If you’re even a little interested in saving money, definitely head on over to see what it’s all about.
