Are you up for a challenge?

Get ready to step out of your comfort zone, because the brilliant William Schneider is about to test your pastel painting abilities. 

“Inner Flame” is one of our Hall-of-Fame videos, and it’s by far one of the best videos to learn the key principles of lights and darks.

In this unique demonstration, you’ll discover how to paint subjects around a light source.

Normally, you wouldn’t paint the light source as they’re out of the frame…

…but this painting will challenge you to paint a dark & moody scene, with the kerosene lamp as the only light source.

See, most artists find painting scenes like this a challenge.

Usually, they’ll add MORE white to lighten up the brighter areas… but it’s a mistake because your painting will be chalky, amateurish, and unattractive.

In fact, many artists don’t know the surprisingly simple technique to achieve realistic glow emanating from a light source.

But once you’ve seen William’s secrets on how to do it, you’ll be over the moon with the results.

The best thing?

It’s easy. Anyone can successfully paint a scene like this - all you have to do is follow along!
