Question 8 • 620139PW Intro to Art S1 - CAMPBELL, CHRISTOPHER
In red-figure pottery, the background was painted dark while the figures remained the color of the clay. Artists could add details with a brush inside the figures’ outlines, making it easier to show anatomy and movement than with the incised lines used in black-figure painting. Therefore, the main advantage was that red-figure painting allowed greater detail in the figures’ anatomy.
