I did this a few years ago. What did I learn? He used a purple underground in almost the same value as the paint he put on top. He also mixed all his colors with something like cerulean blue in order to get a tonal color harmony. The figures in the background are only suggestions.

I like yours better too Aurelia!  Do you mean he toned his canvas in purple, or did an underpainting in purple?

Hi Aurelia nice job , there definitely is something to that toned ground , to me it is very eye pleasing!

The warm violet hue thru out your painting ties it all together. LOve the lyrical quality of your shapes.

Sorolla is a favorite artist of mine.  His ability to capture the intensity of light was remarkable.  Your studies are very good.

Thank you Jon!  You flattering me!  I don't think I can ever stand in Sorolla's shoes.  :)  I let the underpainting dried first before I start painting.

That's lovely Aurelia!  And interesting! Did you paint it using this method?  Wet on wet?
