Category: Art

Light started this world and for Betty Lou Schlemm, light is one of the most important parts of a painting. In chapter after chapter, she explains some of her views on light and how it affects the painting in color, its effects on the atmosphere and the pictorial space.

She first discusses the theory behind her painting procedure and philosophy and then, in the demonstrations that follow, she shows how to apply these ideas in practice.
