I swear the saturation drops when it posts to Blogger.
So, this is me trying to be quick and get to a point where I can demo this Thursday and explain my way through it.
With the underpainting, I did initial blocking with my 1" flat and raw umber. I then mixed in some cad red, and went darker and a little tighter with the smaller flat. I really liked the temperature shift that created, and while a lot of it will be painted over, it added a layer to help with the fluctuations.
I did that damn squash again. The shadow this time went too purpley, to I had to go in again and knock it a little green. Anyway I'm digging it so far.

yeah. something about the compression that Blogger uses alters the images a bit. i typically oversaturate my images a bit just to compensate.
squash looks good. as for the demo, i think you're solidifying your technique to get pretty reliable results, so you should be set. if you can do this in front of everybody, they should be impressed.
as for the image itself, i'd like to see you push the warm/cool relationships more. the raw umber looks warm to me, so everything looks warm. perhaps +cad red for warm, but +some gray for cool?
