Highlights

I've said this a thousand times till my lips are numb and my spit over-pouring.... CONTRAST, CONTRAST, CONTRAST. Without contrast, the image we draw or paint or express wouldn't have the 3-Dimensional, realistic illusion we all want out of our still-life painting or drawing or anything... actually. Many forget about contrast. Wherever there's dark.... there ought to be light...  vise versa. So I made a point to educate my students about the importance of highlights..... chalk on black paper.... this is my demo....

Just with highlights on black paper, astounding works can be achieved. Its all about the fundamentals.
