Milan Art Institute Mastery Program Review: Week 6 Part 2
Fat over Lean
Fat over lean is a technique where we start with thinner transparent paints and then go thicker to opaque paints. We’ll start with a basic pencil sketch, then spray the sketch with fixative. Then we’ll do an underpainting, using the thinner, transparent paints, to block in the color of the snake as well as creating an abstract background.

Starting with a larger brush, I paint the body of the snake and then add in the details with smaller brushes.
