Glazing Sfumato Effect Like Eugene Carriere

Glazing to achieve a sfumato effect like Eugene Carriere.

In my view diffused contours are absolutely essential for creating a painting that feels like life. This is because natural objects rarely contain crisp and sharp outlines.

My favorite techniques for diffused contours:
1. Sanding - sand the edges that separate objects in order to create a more atmospheric blending between them.
2. Loose / Rough Brushwork - Use large brushes and make marks that are bold and swift. This helps to create a sense of weight and solidity. It forces you to focus on the big picture and doesn’t allow for sharp outlines.
3. Glazing - By glazing over edges and allowing di#nt objects to blend into each other you can create a sfumato effect that is similar to sanding but allows for delicate and precise transitions.
