Dappled came easier to me than reflected color.

Edit: I redid reflected color AGAIN.
Kept it simple this time. Reflected green from the grass and left it at that.

@burvantill I'm still finding it hard to find reference for reflected light

I like the dappled light, though! Looks quite natural.

@burvantill my dappled light, however, does not I'm gonna have to try again tomorrow. I think doing something other than a sphere will help.

@Braden-Hallett try randomizing the strength of the light in the different dappled areas. I remember Will went back over and erased parts of the spots he initially laid down. So not all the dappled were the same light strength.

@Braden-Hallett i do notice the little reflected light tho. Subtle.

@burvantill Off of what is the light being reflected?

braden H

@Braden-Hallett I'm working on watching the demo for dappled right now. I was wondering if you just have too much light in the background and/or it's not really obvious that there are for example trees or something casting the shadow/causing the dapples?

Coley

bounced reflected light (a bit harsh and blotchy). I could keep noodling but it seems like a waste of time to get perfection in studies?! I'm assuming I'll make it perfect later lol!!! Great practice tho!

@Braden-Hallett [Head slap!]
Excellent question!
I’m gonna keep workin on this. Thanx for the eye opener

@Braden-Hallett The ball would have a cast shadow cutting off the dapples on the ground

The day totally got away from me! I'll post the next thread tomorrow

nice! Definitely a much stronger attempt than mine

For some reason the overlapping daubs of light help to sell it for me.

And you also just helped me click a puzzle piece for reflected light. My brain wants the reflected light to be the same colour as the light source instead of the colour of the object it's bouncing off of. Light reflected off of grass is green Awesome.

@Braden-Hallett I actually have a brush called dappled light! So I totally cheated ha ha ha!!! I got it from a brush set for a $1 support of Djamila Knopf on Patreon
I think Marco Bucci said the reflected light off of grass should be a bit more yellow but yeah, same color as object it bounces off.....or, at least it absorbs some of the color and reflects it back At least there is one thing I learned from all my oil painting lol!

Hey! I found some reflected color! While petting the dog I couldn’t help but see it so I had to take a picture and share it with you all.
