Sure, what are you painting mostly? figures? still life?
90% of the time planning is very important to execute a gd piece.....always start with Sienna brown for under paint.

Let me know what else you would like to know, down to help

Sienna Brown is a more warmer tone and it is always easy to start your underpainting with a warmer than a cooler tone like Mars Black....the last thing you want is when you are done with the painting, the under paint still shows from the bottom. It makes it look like some wierd outlines....especially when painting figures

NEVER paint any subject by section, since in that case your piece will come out like many others that are flat, disconnected and with no "flow". And if you have to do a small section bits by bits, always glaze a neutral color on top over the "whole area" where you had been working in sections earlier. That will bring all the sections together on the same plane.

Think of painting is pushing the paint around on any surface to suggest values (Light, Mid & Dark tones) & perspective. Color doesn't even matter without value...since think about how most animal see things in black & white, yet they have very good depth perception....with correct and adequate values, a monotone painting can be alot better than any multi-color rendering anyday.

I hope all this helps....

Back to painting,. lets not forget., that by adding a tone to all the colours, will make the painting dull and boring, like that of the academics, which where fought against starting from the impressionists.
