Old master oil painting: forms emerge from a dark brown or black ground under one strong directional light, with deep shadows that swallow the edges. Warm, earthy palette of umber, ochre and muted red with occasional blue or gold accents. Thin translucent glazes give smooth surfaces, thicker paint sits in the highlights, with fine craquelure and a warm varnished tone.
