The Four Painting Modes of Renaissance

Sfumato

It is a technique of using colors in a way to blur the clear hard lines and create a smooth painting.

What I did over here is overlap the red color with orange in order to smoothen the red lines and to 

deliver a smooth texture.

Unione

It emphasizes the smooth transformation of colors without leaving a trace of hard lines.

What I did in this painting is lightly apply the color blue over the center, although it got a bit dirty as 

the blue oil pastel I had was used frequently.

Chiaroscuro

Chiaroscuro is all about lights and shadows. It is the representation of light and dark parts.

What I did in this painting is darken the outer parts and made the inner area white in order to create a 

contrast between dark and light as that is what this technique is all about.

Cangiante

Cangiante is all about replacing colors with another color.
