How a Flower Begins to Glow: Light, Shadow, and Layers

This floral painting is built through a structured, layered method that separates light, form, and color into distinct stages. The process begins with a unified base and a monochromatic underpainting that defines volume and light. Only once this structure is fully dry does color appear, applied through transparent glazes rather than opaque paint. These thin layers allow light to pass through the color, reflect off the underlying values, and return to the viewer’s eye, creating a glow that seems to come from within the flower itself. The final step refines contrast, pushing highlights and deepening shadows to enhance visual impact. What appears spontaneous or magical is, in reality, the result of patience, discipline, and a precise understanding of light.
