Light and shade to learn how to paint step by step

Painting workshop is a work that provides the essential theoretical bases to start painting with a series of exercises on a variety of themes to put them into practice. The representation of light and shadow in painting is fundamental to explain reliefs, to create the illusion of volume, and to emphasise expressiveness or the effect of dramatisation. To master these effects it is essential to understand the essence of light and its consequence, shadow, as light and shadow are an indissoluble binomial. This work offers the novice painter the opportunity to begin with the treatment of light and shadow in painting, and the advanced painter the opportunity to delve deeper into their techniques, following a procedure that is as relevant today as it was in any past era.
