Anyone can become an artist. And for this you do not need to take painting lessons from eminent masters or spend hours displaying lopsided vases on canvas in the hope that patience and work will grind everything, and if you suffer for a long time, something will work out. It is enough just to make friends with colorful crayons and not be afraid of shadows.
Artist Michael Neff is a master of shadow painting. And it's not about the fact that he is de maestro-dissident, forced to lie low and hide there in the shadows from his pursuers who want to punish him for his sinful creativity. Michael literally decorates shadows, adding life and color to them.
Michael's project is called "Chalk on shadows". With its help, the artist, who, however, is also known as an urban photographer, tries to show the world that not only real things are beautiful, but also their shadow reflections. And since Michael himself is an esthete, he seeks to decorate everything that he sees around him. In this case, shadows: from lanterns and traffic lights, trees and people, cars and flower beds, gates and fences with swirls. A gallery of shadow illustrations can be viewed on Michael Neff's website.
The pictures may not be impressive, but the idea is worth a lot, because in this way you can also decorate the interior of your own room by projecting the desired image on the wall, wardrobe or door, carefully tracing it along the contour and decorating it.
