Beginning with a blank canvas, any household paint can be used as a primer.

Sketch in your scene. This does not have to be completely accurate as the detail will

come in once painting begins.

Once you have the sketch laid out, you can then begin blocking in your colours from deep

to light orange & yellow to give an idea of where shadow and light will lay.
