Using tonal contrast effectively can create a painting you'll want to take a second look at, as opposed to one-hit splashy bling.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409604820178478573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-32256097607743595092011-02-10T04:33:37.221-05:002011-02-10T04:33:37.221-05:00darn it ....I just wrote a mini essay in here and ...darn it ....I just wrote a mini essay in here and it lost it. grrrr! Fantastic article Alan. I want to get into it about how contrast usually guides the viewer to the point of interest but that here it is used to show relief and in turn that makes me think of how you can use contrast to distract a viewer from the point of interest i.e show a part of the painting first then the main point of interest second ....like a character hiding in the shadows being revealed after the pursuer - cripes..it's a longer conversation we'll have to get in to laterD'moXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949695411302641698noreply@blogger.com
