Grisaille

The French word, grisaille, loosely translated, means gray tones.  When an artist paints in gray tones, it's called grisaille painting.  The Old Masters called it "dead coloring" which means that colors were not used during the initial painting process of creating the graytone underpainting.

Grisaille painting is fun to learn at any skill level, but is especially helpful at the beginner level.  Grisaille method breaks the painting process down into smaller steps which allows the painter to concentrate on only one process at a time. It's a great way to divide and conquer the painting process at any skill level.

After the grisaille painting is finished, then it is time to add color.
