Additionally, what is optical mixing in paintings, and how does it connect to the technique of broken color? Broken color in oil painting is a technique where artists use small dabs or strokes of pure color applied next to each other rather than blending them on the palette or canvas. This approach allows the viewer's eye to blend the colors optically, creating a more vibrant and dynamic effect. As a painter, the effects of light and atmosphere are what I remember about a location and what inspires me most. Light transforms the ordinary or even beautiful into the exceptional. I aim to capture these fleeting moments and help people see things again through new eyes.
