Underpainting

Here’s my underpainting for Lincoln.  I pasted my drawing to a masonite panel, and painted over the feet, because I felt the little boxy body was sort of silly.  I think I might try some color glazes tomorrow.  I will most certainly mess it up beyond recovery so I captured a shot before I began.
