They used concepts of natural shading to counterbalance and disrupt light patterns to confuse and &#8220;dazzle&#8221; the enemy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3943\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3943\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/camosoldiersforweb.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3943 \" title=\"camosoldiersforweb via newsgrist.typepad.com\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/camosoldiersforweb.jpg\" alt=\"camosoldiersforweb on Art is Everywhere\" width=\"400\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/camosoldiersforweb.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/camosoldiersforweb-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example of colorful camouflaged soldiers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3944\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3944\" style=\"width: 494px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/camo+patterns.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3944 \" title=\"camo+patterns via abbot thayer blogspot\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/camo+patterns.jpg\" alt=\"Camo patterns on Art is Everywhere\" width=\"494\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/camo+patterns.jpg 617w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/camo+patterns-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3944\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">camo patterned vests via abbot thayer blogspot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Claudia <strong>Covert<\/strong>, (the coincidence of her name is uncanny), is an expert on military camouflage at RISD.

an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
