Challenge Details
Chiaroscuro (ARCHIVAL)
An Open Challenge using the Standard Editing rules.

Description
Wikipedia says: Chiaroscuro, in art, is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians for the use of contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures. Show us your interpretation of this classic artistic concept
