Painting colour and light 2.0 Group run through week one!

Heather Boyd

Looking forward and seems reasonable to even less homework than expected for week 1. Excited because my colour is close to real and not based on mood and atmosphere which I would love to play with and to get lighting more with variety!

Also love the new works on your site, the kids at their desks has a lot of interest and humour.

Thanks,

Washu

I will join you! I don't practice enough. I have the workbook but I'm going to go back and watch the videos again. My biggest weakness is that I watch the videos, gather references and sort everything into neat folders and then never actually practice. [shame]
Looking up "color keys" to your favorite animated movies is a great way to collect lighting references.

@Heather-Boyd Nice! I always forget how awesome Pinterest is for this kind of thing. I guess if we all get boards going we can kinda pick and choose what we like from each other and just pin each others pins or something, yeah?

I always diligently practice, but I never take the time to collect and use reference, lol.

@Braden-Hallett I've been "away" for a bit with life and today is I think my last day subbing to SVS, but now I might sub again mostly because of this lol. Maybe SVS should take note?! These classes you're running keep people in.....I was toying with it but this sort of thing may have sealed the deal. I'm contemplating a full year actually, have $ towards my christmas present and I can't afford a live class which I would like! But this seems really great.

When I found images that were hard to place because they could be one Lighting situation or another I just copied them and put them in both . I have a lot of duplicates

Heather Boyd

@Coley I have yet to do a live class maybe in a year or two they are expensive but rightly so for what we get. Year sub is worth it though especially the larger higher priced classes. Hope to see your colour and light homework.

Coley

@Heather-Boyd I just today got my first ever paying illustration gig So it will cover the cost of the sub (and then some) . yay!

Heather Boyd

@Coley fantastic congrats!

Three cheers for pinterest

I've been trying to do this using my own photos and, while they're not brilliantly artistic shots, I'm surprised at how many of the lighting situations I can cover.

I don't think I want to put them on Pinterest as there are quite a few with friends' kids, etc. so currently figuring out the best way to organise on my PC.

However, I will share that I once managed to capture one of those spheres illustrators are always drawing, out in the wild:

Here's what I have so far - getting there a bit late

I'm going to just keep setting up sub-sections under the lighting category so this should grow in the next few days.

I'va also started to collect from my private photos ... Having the same problem as @neschof: Too many of my kids. Too many bums I'll sort those out and share the rest with you. And I'm getting distracted with those photos all the time. I havn't seen them for ages.

I started a Pinterest board. Feel free to pin from my board:

@neschof The sphere... It haunts me...

braden H

REPIN PARTYYYYYYYY! Or something like that We'll all have awesome reference libraries from out collected research.

@Meta @neschof Feel free to share only if you're totally comfortable I totally understand not wanting personal photos on the interwebs

@Braden-Hallett

If you know doctor who with David tenant and Billie Piper in the episode called the Army of Ghosts check out the implications of that sphere haha!

If anyone hasn't been to this resource yet, it is friggin' amazing. I particularly like looking at the Laika movies (box trolls, coraline, etc) since they're physical models lit in real life (so staged, but still real light for the most part I think)
