Mastering a technique is difficult, but it's even more difficult
to perfect it,
this is Jan van Eyck
flemish by birth although
the exact details of his birth are in-existent, he is believed to have been born
around 1390. it can be said that he perfected the oil technique by adding precious
metals into his painting giving the view a perception of highlights in the
paining. he also provided a sagacity of realism that was not used at the time. nevertheless in the majority of his paining he tried to deceive the viewers
such as the reflection of imaginary things in mirrors. i love his use of colors
in the folding of fabric in each of his paintings, its delicate, vibrant yet it gives the sense of fluidity fabric has. so remember to watch out for the
reflections in his paintings.
