Good work Oriane!

Used your settings, squeezed out paint from the tube which I had'nt tried before, spread it around and painted into the wet stuff. Spooky...so much like the real thing.

RBisset, in my opinion you produced a masterpiece of painting. Smooth, elegant, varying the values of color, in a beautiful dreamy image composition that draws our attention. I advise that you publish this painting in the gallery so that it will be best appreciated by all. Congratulations, I am happy that this tutorial is reaching its goal. Thank you for your post.

About Byron Callas findings: In Figures 15 and 16 is printed the due credit to some of Byron’s findings. These findings can be better studied and evaluated in Byron Callas Thread - 3D Lighting Bump Issue: Question and Request.

Byron Callas, also published the excellent thread: 3D Simulation in ArtRage 3: One Simple Approach, which can be evaluated here:

Byron Callas comment about Impasto oil painting technique : “Oriane, this is outstanding. I love everything about it, but particularly like some of your workarounds dealing with the bump shadow that can plague the lower right trailing edges in the AR lighting effects. Someday I hope AR will give the Artist's options to control the built in lighting direction. But your approach is a good one for dealing with that little problem. And the overall technique illustrations are an entire arsenal of delights for creating all manner of beautiful art with endless possibilities. Just a super job”.
