DIRECT SUNLIGHT
- Three illuminations on sunny day: the sun, blue sky and reflected light from illuminated objects.
- Sunlight is the brightest light source
- Blue sky can mess with colors a bit
OVERCAST LIGHT
- layer of clouds diffuses sunlight
- Contrast is lower
- Ideal for complicated scenes
WINDOW LIGHT
- Constant with simplifying effect
- Unless sun shining directly through window daylight is usually blueish
- Contrasts with warm artificial lights
- Floor and ceiling get reflected colors from sky and ground outside
CANDLELIGHT AND FIRELIGHT
- yellow orange
- Fairly weak
- Noticeable after sunset
- Leave no deep darks around light
- Weaken the light— fall off
INDOOR ELECTRIC LIGHT
- Keep in mind relative brightness, hardness or softness, color cast
- Consider the brightness of the lamp
- Hard light comes from a small sharp point
- Soft light larger, farther away source
- Color cast consider the bulb color it will affect the room
STREETLIGHTS AND NIGHT CONDITIONS
- before late nineteenth century, two colors of light at night, moonlight which is blue or gray and orange flame based light. Electric lights brought new colors
- Moonlight can contrast with warm shop and city lights
- Sodium vapor orange
- mercury vapor cooler color
LUMINESCENCE
- When hot or flaming objects give of light its Incandescence. But glowing at cool temperature is LUMINESCENCE
- bioluminescence organisms that produce light. Mostly in the ocean.
- Fluorescence is a light produced by an object that converts invisible electromagnetic energy. Some minerals give this off when lit by ultraviolet light
- Tips and Techniques
- luminescent colors change from one hue to another
- blue green colors common in ocean bc travel through the water best.
- Paint the scene first in darker tones without the luminescence and then add glow
HIDDEN LIGHT SOURCES
- A light inside the scene that's concealed from view
- mysterious
- different colors add to mystery
