Candlelight paintings are amazingly attractive with vibrant flames. If you have ever wondered about painting light, take a sure shot chance to try out a burning candle. The focus of the painting is on the flame and have a wide impact on the subject. The luminous area on the canvas is the glow that radiates from the flame. The brilliance of the flame could be easily highlighted with the supporting objects.
The color patterns on the frame make it rather attractive. The bluish flame at the bottom with a transparent touch makes the flame heavenly. The glowing yellow color of the flame at the top makes it look distinct. While painting a candle, make sure to blend the candle flame with the background.
