@carolineestelleart: Before I paint a single flesh tone, I build up transparent layers of bright colors to create a sort of colorful imprimatura foundation. The science is the fun part…light passes through those transparent paint layers and bounces back out carrying information from every layer underneath. Your eye blends those colors together optically, which is why layered oil paintings have so much depth and luminosity. #OilPainting #PaintingProcess #ContemporaryArt #creatorsearchinsights #paintingideas
