What is the purpose of linking a layer to the bottom layer? Thank you for the tutorial, beautiful piece.

Yeah in this case it's not to important, but sometimes I work on a bigger canvas, with room on the side to test stuff, kinda like a traditional painter would do. it also comes in handy when you work with characters and want the layers to stick to the character only.

So if you link the layers and then make it to where it will only draw on the area of the bottom layer, it will only color on that area without having to make a selection? Is that what you mean?

Nice! I love the lighting. Did you work from a photograph or from life? (If from life that would be a heck of a trick getting the match to stay there for 6 hours XD)

From life :) the matches were no problem, they look close to the fire but they are actually not too close.
Refreshing the candle is another thing XD

Awesome study.I understand clip masks...but I still don't understand what the link feature in layers do. What's it for?
