Painting colour and light 2.0 Group run through week Six!!

[burvantill]

I find myself stopping in public to stare at an object that is being lit nicely to try and put it in a category; hard, soft, ambient,etc. I'm sure I look like I've gone round the bend.

More than one person has seen me taking a photo of absolutely nothing apparently interesting the last few weeks

I edited the original post! watch 'light beam' as well!

It seems to me that rim light tends to bleed around objects, giving them a nice silhouette (at least in the outdoor shots)

I really like rays of light I should really use them more often.

rim light done today. not the best (especially the shadow) but it's done Rays of light up next.

[braden H]

@Coley I'm finding it difficult to anticipate exactly how much light needs to bend around the object for the rim lighting if you get what I mean. It seems to go further than it should sometimes L)

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett yup it's one that needs some extra study and reference, and practice! Pretty cool when it works. I'm finding ambient lighting a little easier because it's so subtle lol

I agree that ambient light is very very friendly

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett I'm using it (or trying to!) in my January contest idea. Putting the course work into practice

Week 7 will be up tomorrow! Today was spent with me very thankful I have a battery backup surge protector, and watching my electrician brother say things like 'that's weird' and 'oh man THAT'S no good'.

Long story short my work room now has all new wall plugs

[burvantill]

@Braden-Hallett oh no! That’s scary. Glad you didn’t lose any art. Yikes.
