Here are two very different shore paintings, both in progress. I start out with an underpainting then work with lines and shapes until I like the composition. The painting on the bottom has a diagonal composition and when it is completed it will show rocks above water on the lower left and rocks under water on the upper right.
These two paintings together show the difference an under painting can make to the final piece. The top painting has a gray under painting, while the painting below has a burnt orange under painting. Even though the under painting will disappear it still influences the finished piece.
