Thomas Kinkade was an American painter of popular realistic, pastoral, and idyllic subjects. Kinkade, known as the “Painter of Light,” famously depicted idyllic scenes of churches and cottages in soothing, almost dream-like pastels. Below, some of his artwork on Disney paintings. Looking at these magical Disney scenes it's hard to believe that these are actual paintings and not digital illustrations. Kinkade, who was the master of chiaroscuro, a painting technique using light and dark contrasts to create a sense of drama and the illusion of volume. That's why it looks as though your favorite childhood characters could come alive any second and step through the painting to greet you. The detail in each piece of artwork is amazing and the longer you look at it the more you'll find.
