Light that comes bouncing from elsewhere would be more of a reflected light, not a shadow. So in this painting, the shadow on the red is red; I hope that it looks like we can see through the shadow to the surface it covers.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-65072282889661027452015-04-03T07:46:57.478-04:002015-04-03T07:46:57.478-04:00Happy Passover, Altoon!

Shadows aren't absolute; wherever any light comes from, it will illuminate the shadowed surface -- is that it? I'd like to hear more about the opaque light. Can you elaborate? How, exactly, do you apply that in this painting, for instance? (Or do you just paint and in doing so demonstrate it?) When you get home.Susan Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249426819285565971noreply@blogger.com
