Acrylics on Board

I sketched this onto a gessoed masonite board with vine charcoal. After it was 'fixed' with fixative, I covered the board with a wash of yellow ochre. When that was dry, I went over the outline with a red inktense block which I misted with water to let it run. I then started painting with acrylics using a mixture of Golden Flow White Zinc and Golden Glazing Fluid instead of water to thin the paint. Since acrylics dry darker than the initial color the addition of the zinc white lightens the color when dry. I find that it is easier to darken a color with a wash if it dries too light.
