I know it's strange painting but I really wanted to make it some time ago. It's not my own idea, it's my version of some illustration from old magazine for kids. 

It's about the history of lighting. Here you can find different types of illuminating tools from old-fashioned to modern. 

From left to right:

Torch and bowl with oil,
oil lamp,
candles,
fire,
splinter,
kerosene lamp,
gas lamp,
electric carbon arc lamp,
2 types of incandescent lamp,
neon tubes (gas-discharge lamps),
2 kinds of fluorescent lamp,
light-guides.

Made with traditional mixed media (soft pastels, some charcoal and acrylic) on A3 textured paper.

Thanks for stopping by!
