Here's the underdrawing. I did with a 30% grey marker. Next, I coated the canvas with burnt umber.

Next I wiped out the light areas with a q-tip and a rag.

Next I rested the darks with more burnt umber mixed with a touch of lamp black.

The rest of the painting was done with a palette of cadmium yellow, cadmium orange, and white.
