Impasto, Impressionism, Chiaroscuro - Painterly StylesThis LoRA is a study of styles suggestive or characteristic of a painting or of the art of painting.It focuses on concepts of impressionism, impasto, and chiaroscuro (light-dark).The dataset is mostly focused on modern works, with a selection of old masters and impressionists.ℹ️ LoRA work best when applied to the base models on which they are trained. Please read the About This Version on the appropriate base models and workflow/training information.ℹ️ For Anima Circlestone labs recommend "if going for a more realistic / painterly look, the beta57 scheduler (ComfyUI RES4LYF custom node pack) can help make better textures, since it puts more emphasis on low-noise timesteps."ImpressionismImpressionist art shows life-like subjects painted in a broad quick style, with many short visible brushstrokes that are easily seen and colours that are often bright making up the artwork.Works by Claude Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, and Vermeer are included to learn this style.ImpastoA painting technique where paint is laid on an area of the surface thickly, usually thick enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible. Paint can also be mixed right on the canvas. When dry, impasto provides texture; the paint appears to be coming out of the canvas.The technique is commonly achieved with oil or acrylic paint due to their thicker consistency.Can be synonymous with impressionism, the difference being the depth of the paint.ChiaroscuroThe use of strong contrasts between light and dark across an entire composition to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects.Works by Rembrandt Caravaggio, and Vermeer are included to learn this style.Recommended tags:# general painterly styles painterly brushstroke impressionism impasto oil painting (medium)
