My painting technique, and my philosophy, can be described in one word -- light. The Old Renaissance Masters, like Da Vinci and Rembrandt, recognized that light is the reflection of nature, of life itself. Their paintings are masterful portraits of life. I have spent the last ten years studying their technique. I want viewers of my artwork to feel as if the painting were glowing and radiating its own light source. Light is everything in my paintings. I use the old Dutch Masters oil painting technique of transparent washes and scumbles. This is the best way to create a 3D effect with light and shadow. -Al Hogue
