Vermeer used a complex technique involving opaque layers, translucent glasses, and diffuse highlights laid over one another in order to depict optical phenomena, including his signature “spectacular,” or mirrorlike, highlights. . . . HoweverVermeer’s method of including highlights as part of his layering technique was unique. In ‘The Milk Maid,’ Vermeer laid down a rich orange-brown mixed with lead white and lead-tin yellow. He then added dabs of white and off-white paint, following a glaze of red lake. Over these layers he added further points of white to the bread and basket to front spectacular highlights. ~ Page 212
