Dead Underlayer
You have already chosen the tonality. Now you have to
rely on it, that is you must repeat the chosen tonality
in the dead underlayer. You can make corrections in
the tonality without making radical changes. Light are
applied thickly, half a tone higher; shadows are very
transparent, half a tone lower.
