We painters tend to think of these beams in two-dimensional terms, but it's good to remember that they occupy a specific volume of 3D space between the source and the subject.

The light takes on its form as it passes through the opening in the clouds, and you can see its effect as it travels to the selective areas it illuminates.

I have you book Color and Light. I live the book. It's really helped me see and understand color, light & shadows.
If you ever get a chance to get to the MET, you must see Lander's Peak in person. It is breathtaking! I took some close-up photos of the painting (without flash of course) and the details are amazing. Every artist should have a visit to the MET and the Louvre on their bucket list. Hopefully the Louvre visit will be in 2020 or 2021 for me.
