Renoir portrait surface detail

Renoir guides warmth with subtle cool anchors.


🌡️ Temperature Map

  • Warm core; cool halftones.
  • Edges dissolve into ambient.
  • Highlights stay low‑key.

Soft doesn’t mean vague; it means controlled.


🎨 Mixing Notes

  • Warm base with cool halftone glaze.
  • Keep highlights low‑key to avoid glare.
  • Soften edges at terminators.
