Скачать или смотреть Oil Painting Light over Dark - Study from The Old Masters - Vermeer's The Lacemaker (Normal Speed)

Studying from the Old Masters is the easiest way to learn oil painting light over dark as classic oil painting or multi-layered method is the most intuitive in my opinion.

Common art education uses dry materials such as pencil or charcoal to help beginners progress basics of light and shade. But dry materials make shadow thick and opaque, at the end, the images become dull in wise eyes. Meanwhile, light over dark oil painting makes shadow transparent, deep, such a lovely simulation of Nature.

In the beginning, the most important question for art practitioners is how to perceive the relation of light and dark correctly. I believe only classic oil painting can truly answer it thoroughly.

As light and shadow are perceived properly, then we can talk more efficiently about light and color later...
