    Silhouette is an extreme form of backlighting. Not all photos are blackened though and lightening the shadow areas bring out some cool shadow colors.

    Some more photos to get the artistic juices flowing

    I’m looking forward to seeing the artwork using these references or your own reference. Have fun!

                Great topic Christel. Not even thought about trying something like these.

                    Another interesting challenge! Great references, I’ll try to get one done :)

                    I love oil pastels and have created a blog about this medium. While the blog posts are in Russian, still I invite you to get inspired with various artists' beautiful OP paintings in my blog's gallery: https://oilpastelist.wordpress.com/gallery

                        That’s true Christel, still pondering.

                                Lovely work, tuscanny! :clap:

                                I have done my silhouette. I found working with all the black quite difficult; it kept getting places it wasn’t supposed to :lol: My painting is of nudes, so I’ll chuck it in my nudes thread. I was going to behave myself and only do non-offensive subjects for challenges, but I had an idea, and, well, you know how it is :clear:
