underpainting

I finally found sometime today to go in my art room.  Luckily it rained this afternoon, so I didn't have to water the garden or the newly seeded pasture grass.  I'm trying a new technique with acrylics...this is only the underpainting.  I thought about using oils, (so I wouldn't have to worry about the paint drying so fast) but as soon as I opened the Gamblin odorless mineral spirits, I knew that wasn't going to happen.  If it was Winter, I could just open the window and the smell wouldn't bother me, but here in Texas, you don't dare open a window in the summer unless you want to die from the heat and humidity!  I'm hoping to find sometime tomorrow to start adding colors.

Update: this just landed in the trash...
