Abstract
Several great painters in art history used a certain kind of technique on their paintings. They used thin glazes rather then opaque layers of oil paint. Layers upon layers of translucent glazes created a luminous quality in their painting that added a richness and depth still admired and appreciated today. Unfortunately, this process is also very time consuming, and as such has been abandoned by many artists and art instructors. By learning this traditional process, I felt that I could not only increase my abilities as a painter and enhance my portfolio work, but also preserve the magnificent tradition and share it with others in the future.
