This is a simple demonstration of the Thomas Kinkade light dimming effect that can be seen in person at any local Thomas Kinkade Gallery. The effect, which is a trademark of almost all Thomas Kinkade paintings occurs when you slowly bring down the light illuminating the painting. The effect really feels as if the sun is setting inside of the painting, it's amazing! The sky begins to illuminate, sun patches on the ground really stand out and the windows of cottages seem glow brilliantly as if somebody’s at home. Is it an optical illusion or magic? Visit your local Thomas Kinkade Gallery and let us know what you think.
About the Image:
My Old Watchmaker, painted in oil when I was in my early twenties and just learning my craft, is a tribute to my own passionate commitment to learning the techniques of oil painting. Like the Old Watchmaker, I somehow knew that God lives in the details, and that as scripture affirms, it is good to work well with one's hands.
