At this stage I have finished blocking in the very basic colours and form with acrylic paint – next comes the exciting part, brining this tiger to life with oils 
Hope you are all enjoying this tutorial so far and staying tuned for more.

Very powerful Jason! It’s looking great so far.
Thanks – Glad you like him so far
This is looking awesome! I love the blue light on the left of the face!
Thanks Miranda, that’s what I liked about this one too
Looking good Jason! This will be another very useful tutorial.
Other than the fact that the acrylics dry quickly, what is it about them that makes them preferable at this underpainting stage?
Nothing Peter, you hit the nail on the head.
Jason, I thought as much, but your comment “I wanted a good underpainting to work from – hence the acrylics” threw me and had me thinking there must be another advantage. I look forward to watching this one come to life.
Why is acrylics used for the underpainting rather than oil? Just a bit confused.. and when underpainting is the acrylics applied with thin strokes or washes?
Just for the speed of drying – noting more, applied in thin strokes
