Tony Pro Juried Member Joined: Apr 2004 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 135	My use of optical red I used optical red in this painting... note the "red glow" just on the outside of the profile of the forehead... It's a wonderful concept of giving "life" to any portrait or figure... Remember, light is tangible believe it or not... so when bright warm light reflects of flesh, it can cast a "glow" or "halo" to produce an atmosphere in the painting. Hope this helps!
