Painting techniques....

Published by: Jax on 17th Sep 2010 | View all blogs by Jax

I recently held a workshop at the Painting Cave where I introduced a very talented young artist to the technique of painting from dark to light or as some would term - chiaroscuro

Danni had painted a very similar subject choice in the method that most artist begin with. This method gets you used to mixing color, applying it to canvas and teaches you how to blend. Some artists progress from this stage to produce very beautiful paintings in their own unique way. 7234_1234870026161_1061503270_765962_5495630_n.jpg

 The dark to light way  as seen in the second painting assisted Danni in achieving a realistic 3 dimensional type painting.
