This is the first time I followed the Great Master's technique of doing a light to the touch under painting. I chose burnt umber. What this did for me was provide me with my midtones in the painting and I did not have to worry about painting in all the laugh lines or midtones areas! Its a wonderful technique that you (if you are a painter) should try.
Some viewers have commented on how I painted my frameless glasses - I viewed many famous artists work to see how others painted frameless glasses. I found a painting by John Singer Sargent (amazing artist by the way) and followed his style of just slightly showing an indication that the frameless glasses are there. I loved the technique and will use it again.
