I went to another art fair today and met a young woman named Kendall Wallor. Many of her paintings are those of animals. What really caught my attention was her style. It was very similar to an old renaissance style of the masters. Kendall painted most of her pictures with a dark background but started out her paintings with light colors and then darkened them. I had taken an art class at an art school with a teacher who did something similar and he said it was the secret of the masters. They would start out dark and then work in the lighter colors. Kendall did hers the other way around and it came out just as great.
