I then had the assemblage photographed, and a sepia-toned print was made of it in the appropriate dimensions. Using the sepia photoprint as my "underpainting," I finished the painting in my regular acrylic paints. It was an enjoyable excursion into strange territory for me. 2/3

I'm completely floored by how composition is pretty similar but the finished painting is still hugely different from the underpainting!
