Good contre-jour artworks look like a kind of magic, with dazzling light and colour singing out from the canvas. This book demystifies painting with oils, and is a practical guide to creating the illusion of light in your artwork. Through step-by-step painting demonstrations and clearly explained methods of working, renowned artist Jenny Aitken shows you how to fill all of your paintings with light, no matter the subject. From skies to landscape to portraiture, the art of sparkling contre-jour - painting looking towards the light - begins with careful observation of colour values and temperature. Contains key information about simplification, tone, capturing accurate colour, working indoors and out, how to create atmosphere and the illusion of space - and more. Troubleshoot tricky paintings - and build an understanding of light and colour, so you'll find success the first time round. Includes 11 step-by-step exercises and projects including landscapes, still life, birds and figures.
