Luminist art is reminiscent of an artist brushing tiny diamonds across the canvas to capture radiant light. |

Dead Coloring
|
Dead Coloring Techniques of the Old MastersGrisaille was called "Dead Coloring" by the Old Masters of the Renaissance and Baroque eras. The principle of dead coloring originates in the fact that gray is not a color and produces a colorless underpainting. The belief that when an artist separates the drawing and modeling process from the coloring process, and devotes full energy and attention to each process independently, then oil painting becomes much easier and illusionary effects can be rendered more beautifully. The artist can then push individual pigments, especially transparent colors, to a much broader range and effectively explore every possibility imaginable. The principle of dead coloring has achieved all of the above by separating value from color, transparent from opaque, flat from reflective. This enhances the quality of color, provides easier manipulation of each layer, and saves valuable time and energy for the serious artist.
