Luminosity To A Painting
By Stefan Baumann

Often I’m asked how do I get my paintings to glow or have luminosity? My reply: You must have a concept of what you want to achieve as a final outcome. For instance, applying bright transparent pure hues in thin glazes onto a flat, white canvas. I also recommend using Masterpiece oil primed “Vincent” canvas and using a smooth white oil ground, rather than an acrylic one. It gives luminosity to a painting. Building up color through glazes, creates the effect of light by allowing it to travel through the layers of paint onto the white ground. Thus the light bounces back giving a depth to a painting that can’t be obtained by using colors mixed from a palette.
