This black-and-white image shows a dog standing on a rock. Its fur is mostly white with black patches, and its tail is fluffy. In the background, there’s a faint shape of a person sitting on another rock. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, with a soft, shadowy style. The artist focused on the dog’s fur texture and the contrast between light and dark. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in art.
