Light, the Artist's Ally

Light is one of the basic principles of art.
Once you understand it, you can use light to reveal three-dimensional shapes or to create flat, graphic shapes.
Light can be deceptive, concealing, and even completely change an object’s appearance — and that’s exactly why it is one of the greatest allies you have as a painter.
In short, understanding light helps you present your subject in the most compelling manner.
