Description

Ever wondered how to get that 'cloud' effect?

Or how those old masters made their seas rage and their land flow?

It's called 'sfumato'.

"Sfumato" translated into English means soft, vague or blurred. Leonardo da Vinci used it to famous effect with the Mona Lisa's smile, but it can also be - and is - used in painting many other subjects. As both a writer and an artist, how words translate into images has always fascinated Debrah.
