James Gurney | How to Paint a Light Effect @JamesGurney | Uploaded January 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
James Gurney paints a snow-covered farm road using a limited palette of casein tube colors. He uses four methods to achieve an eye-catching light effect:
1. Mixing the paint on a gray palette surface
2. Priming the surface with a glowing “effect area”
3. Building up to a bright accent.
4. Creating a flare/glow with pastel.
