Painting Dark Objects In Oils. A Simple Way To Make Your Objects Pop

Do you ever struggle when you are painting very dark objects and you have some very narrow value changes? In this oil painting video I show you how you deal effectively with the problem by varying you values, temperatures and brushwork. I use this recent cat commission to illustrate my points as I go along.

Beautiful, but you can always play with the black color by giving it the desired values, the black color is not as "dangerous" as it is thought, in some parts of the picture where it is needed it should not be avoided.
