THE WHITE EFFECT-Charcoal Portrait on toned paper - Superman- Brandon Routh

The wonderful color called WHITE... i always love finishing up a painting by adding white highlights. It is the most efficient way to make an object as real as possible. In this video see how she(artist) uses white to incorporate lighting .

The problem with using white is when you initial smear the pure white color on to your otherwise done work, its scars it, makes it look like OMG i have spoiled it completely, then you work into it, you smear smudge layer it and VOILA!! the effect you get is unparalled

Most of the oil painting i do never get perfect so before closure i do the white trick and my 2-D painting gets the DEPTH it needed and make as though its real...
