In mid-September 2011 I checked out a book on Rembrandt and as I was reading it I came upon a landscape painting in black and white, which looks so much like Chinese ink-and-wash landscape painting. So I started to emulate this Western great master's painting. I was amazed by Rembrandt's use of light in sharp contrast to darkness.
A technical term to talk about the contrast between light and darkness in Rembrandt's painting is:
CHIAROSCURO.
