Painting colour and light 2.0 Group run through week one!
-
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...
-
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)
-
@Coley Oh I missed this! Congratulations!
-
@BichonBistro thanks
-
Ok, I've pinned my photos that don't have people in them and now I'm going to take a look at all your lovely boards and join the repin party!

Yes, a big trip down memory lane!
-
Added a ton of new images and also specifically a lot lot of shadow and reflected light on both men and women for reference.
-
@Braden-Hallett very cool resource. Wow
-
@xin-li I know, right!?
-
Just wanted to say that I went ahead and ran through the pre-reqs that Will suggests and they were both awesome. Took about 1.5 hours each and was definitely worth it. I took color and value classes in school but it had been awhile, and some of the things they talked about I a fairly sure I never learned. I'm going to get started on this one now!
Check out my art and tutorials :)

@carlianne haven't had time to look at this yet--which courses did you run through first that Will recommended?
-
I’d like to join in too if that’s ok. It looks like you’re all getting so much more out of it working together.
-
@peteolczyk and and all are welcome at all times
Get that reference gathered! Next week we get to start some painting -

I just watched them too. It's "light and shadow" and "the magic of color". Will mentions them in the intro to painting colour and light 2.0
As @carlianne found, I knew a lot of the stuff already but it was good to get a refresher and there were a couple of points that were new to me.

Hello there! I have to say goodbye for now ... I thought, I'd manage to take part in the run-through, but I'm already running through the rest of my life without managing (many birthdays in december, and guess what - christmas!); and from tomorrow on a lot of travelling. I'll either try to catch up when I'm back after Christmas, or I just relax a bit and watch what you guys were accomplishing. Have a good time and see you soon!
