Surface and texture

    
    
These paintings create the illusion of surface and texture. These artists create this illusion by using very realistic color combinations and highly skilled blending techniques. They use white skillfully to create highlights and use dark, saturated colors to create value. The highlights generally consist of hues.

i agree the use of light and color has created rich value in all of these paintings. the value brings depth and realism. And the different brush strokes and techniques has given each object and identifiable texture
