Worked alla prima over a ground toned with burnt umber and from a photo. So finally got something posted.

Worked alla prima over a ground toned with burnt umber and from a photo. So finally got something posted.
Finding time for painting again, getting started is something else.
some time ago I just threw some black paint over a cheap canvas with an extra coat, and then wiped out for lights just imagining a setup, so I had done something. while I was trying out to use a toned ground, I thought I go with a burnt umber and white. So I looked at the black underpainting and thought why not go over with burnt umber and white, a simple monochrome, and there I was back in action, No worry about color just light dark. (mostly used a painting knife)
I first did a dark underpainting and just shaped in the lemon with a redish ochre. This dries very fast.
I also revisited some old works trying to improve them or doing (in lack of setup) a repainting. See if I get to post some of them here
This was done over massed shapes dried before moving on, the yellow plum with ochre light and the plum with burnt umbre, just improvised
