Welcome back to my Studio!
 
Sprinkle on Depth
 
 My friend and fellow artist Bill Sprinkle (aka Art Santa) uses a dark-to-light technique that produces such moody depth and exciting paintings, I had to share his step by step approach. 
 
Each of these pictures was taken as he propped the work on the board to view it from a distance. This is a very important part of this (and every other) technique.
 
I'm still learning to see as he does, working from the back forward.  It requires knowledge, faith and more than a little courage. Check out the emergence of this wonderful face.
