Few students realise that in order to give their paintings a luminous glow they must also manipulate the darks. Ong Kim Seng is a master of this method and in this book he shows you how to do it. He follows a stimulating, logical progression that begins with materials and works enjoyably through planning a light-filled composition, using colour to intensify light, devising areas of colour contrast and the best ways to use tonal values to capture the light in a dramatic, evocative way. Ong Kim Seng shows how to guide the viewer's eye through the painting to the centre of interest using light and shade and a battery of interesting ideas, from simplification to amplification. He devotes a chapter to the concepts of harmony, unity and balance and even shows how to solve problems in finished work.
