The shadows can take on the complement of the key light even if there's no strong source of reflected light filling them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-23973756450757485442007-09-18T09:51:00.000-04:002007-09-18T09:51:00.000-04:00These types of painting are beautiful, but confuse...These types of painting are beautiful, but confuse me when it comes to applying warm/cool colors. <BR/><BR/>In your painting, "Light on the Water", the sun color is very warm. But the back of the main dinosaur has cool colored light from a secondary light source, the sky, right? This shadow side of the dinosaur seems to be mixtures of warm and cool colors. Is it just the reflected water of the sun that causes this? Or is it this time of day that causes mixed colors in the shadow?<BR/><BR/>In an overcast day, such as your painting, "Sun in the Garden", the light on the top of this dinosaur looks cool, but the shadow colors under his front legs looks warmer with traces of cool colors too. So is this painting also near the sunset time of day with an overcast? Or should I just be reading this dinosaur as cool lights with warm shadows?Bowlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367073929588095273noreply@blogger.com
