OK, my bad... OSL is 'Object Source Lighting'. In a nutshell, it is a secondary light source in addition to the primary light source. Lanterns, candles, lava, or a wizard's glowing orb for example. The usual way to paint the angel would be a primary light and direction - above, left or right, and perhaps the front. The candle is a secondary source and the yellow light would alter the colors across the knees, hands, face, and the front and sides of the hair, and perhaps parts of the sleeves as well. The light would be strongest at the hands and face and diffuse on areas that are further away. How much is up to the painter and their particular style. Normally, the piece is painted first, then the yellow light is applied as a glaze. There are instances where OSL would be the only light source such as a person holding a candle in an otherwise dark hallway. Most of the figure and hall would be painted in dark muted colors. The areas hit directly with the lantern light would be painted close to normal colors, then glazed with the yellow lantern light. Again, a nutshell...

I presume OSL has something to do with the reflective light from the candle, but I have enough trouble speaking English, let alone this new age slang!!!

That's right for Christmas 2015, it is too late. I also think that most people already have their Christmas Figurines finished for this year.. I am falling  in love with these figures that I just wanted to show you. :-*   We sell   this figures  for 2015  only until 31/12/2015. Next time again until October 2016th

Greetings

 P.S. Maybe a stupid question but what means  OSL?

These are really nice, but your point is taken Brian ...next year. I'm thinking from a sales point-of-view, these should have been released in October. Strike while the iron is hot and all that. Hopefully the Little Tin Soldier will get these in over the next few weeks. The 'Praying Angel' will be a lesson in OSL!
