| As in fat oil color This is the using the maximum amount of paint possible, even in excess of that which is ground. The basic rule in oil painting is fat lean. This means a higher content of paint should be applied in the latter stages of painting. This is a French word meaning 'wild beast'.

This is a straightforward term meaning to have the light directly onto a subject or object. Some nineteenth century painters popularized this type of lighting, namely the Impressionists.

BEcause there are no shadows visable under this type of light, it tends to flatter forms. This constrasts side-lighting which emphasizes the modeling of forms. This was an explosive movement which started in 1909 as an attack on the stagnancy of Italian painting. It praised the speed and violence of completing a work of art and scorned the traditional methods. The phase died out by the first World War. We invite you to read and save any images on our site.
