Today, we’re talking all about layering in abstract painting—specifically, those early layers that often get completely covered up. I get asked about this all the time: “What’s the point of building up layers no one will even see?” And I get it! But here’s the thing—those hidden layers matter more than you think. I’m sharing why I never skip the underpainting stage, how it sets the tone for everything that follows, and why embracing those “invisible” marks is such a powerful part of the creative process.
If you’ve ever wondered whether those early, messy layers are worth it—this one’s for you.
