Painting colour and light 2.0 Group run through week Two!

[burvantill]

@Coley I’m loving that reflected light on the ball

[Heather Boyd]

I will be unable to continue as much as I would like. Time crunch with two works I have planned to finish this month.

All the best!

[NicolaSchofield]

I’m finding this one much harder! I think I only added colour to feel like I was making progress

[burvantill]

@neschof I think you had the same trouble I did with the large ball and the light hitting it side on. Braden gave me a tip and I took this image from the web to help in these difficult situations. LOL

I think your ball would look like "young" moon or "old" moon flipped.

[Coley]

@burvantill reflected light is so purty

No worries to those of you who can't continue the course. The threads will be here once you return

[braden H]

@burvantill thanks, yeah, for the lollypop ball, right? For the ball on the ground, it's supposed to be mostly in the shadow of the staircase.

I think I need to actually add the light direction arrow to keep me on track better. It's supposed to be coming from top right but also slightly towards the viewer.

This is one assignment I think I’m going to keep coming back too. I’m open to any constructive critiquing.

I'll always draw a little arrow in to keep me on track. It's always helpful

It's definitely a good assignment to keep coming back to

When you're deciding values, I'd try and keep in mind the local value of the objects. The shadows seem to get too dark to me (but then again my sense of value is pretty skewed )

@Braden-Hallett

Thank you for the feed back on the values. I’ll look back at them I’m thinking during the screen shot, saving and posting my values seem to darken than what I’m working on, it happened when I posted on my social media as well.

I do the arrow on every thing even when I working traditional, when working digitally I’ll place the arrow on a separate layer. It always seems to help keep me in line.

When I took the screen shot of the arrow one I think I forgot to turn off the layer.
