Light Shadows (oil on canvas 27 x 46 cm)
"…hence, I would remind you, O painter! To dress your figures in the lightest colors you can, since, if you put them in dark colors, they will be in too slight relief, and inconspicuous in distance. And the reason is that shadows of all objects are dark. And if you make a dress dark, there is little variety in the lights and shadows, while in light colors there are many grades.”

aaah such a lovely painting, @montiljo~ it feels like lying down on the forest's floor, looking up and seeing these twin owlsuns looking back at me~
very nice <3
What an interesting quote. And I like the angle where the audience looks into the scene, it makes an interesting feeling to look up to the light :).
