The idea is to create an illusion of more light.notice how this is different than using tints and shades - adding black and white - this is by Pieter Claesz 1628Here is what one artist has to say about Dreamtime painting.. Dreamtime or Creation Time is the period when Baayama (God) and his ancestral Spirit Deity created and helps to shape the world we know today. Dreamtime Stories are unique to an individual area describing the creation of the land its geographic conjures and waterways. These stories also tell of the creation of all living creatures. Deep within these stories are held the ancient “Lore” of our culture. Our morals, respect and beliefs all stem from our understanding of where and how we fit into the creation process. These stories guided and protects our people giving them identity and strength. Here are some examples - Still from Sleeping Beauty - Landscape design by Evyind Earle Concept design for Sleeping Beauty - signed by Evyind Earle characters put into a cell. Note the detail on the trees. Concept sketch from Avatar - even more recent illustrators use the same techniques of layers with details on top.
