Painting Light and Form

Video Description

By understanding how different light sources work, including falloff and reflections, you can paint realistic lighting and shadows in your artwork. Understanding different light sources is key to setting mood in your paintings. Light bulbs emit light in all directions, causing falloff so distant objects look darker. The sun, being far and bright, acts as directional light with negligible falloff. Soft light happens when light scatters through translucent materials like clouds, softening shadows and creating occlusion shadows. Considering brightness, distance, direction of light sources, and reflected light helps you create realistic, vibrant artwork.
