TRANSLATION: Many times I've watched people in my works do this...

"There's no light behind?"

I say, "no, light is in front".

In this case, the sun comes in, hits the ice, and this is a transparency. But to create this optical illusion, it's necessary to have the whole blue spectrum, from warmest to coldest. But for this to really work, we need to break it with greys. Let me show you how easy it is. For example, let's take these two and we can see, there, so easy. Warmest and darkest, then getting up it's lighter and colder, turquoise starts appearing. It's very simple. You don't need a light behind the canvas, but in front. So painting light is... super easy.
