Sources of Light
- Direct sunlight: sun itself (warm); sky (cool); and reflected light of illuminated objects
- Overcast light: soft illumination, diffuses extreme contrasts
- Window light: north facing winodw has bluish cast from skylight or the ceiling is refelcting outdoor scenery
- candlelight and firelight - warm, glowy, yellow-orange. The light is weak
- indoor electric light - relative brightness, hardness or softness, and color cast. Red looks good and blue looks bad bc it makes colors more vibrant on the visual spectrum easier to see.
- streetlights and night conditions - moonlight or orange flame light .Street lights changed this. This is just the kind of lighting you have to study a LOT
- Luminescence - glowing at cool temperatures. Living and non living things. Cool light. Gradate from one hue to another, blue-green for ocean bc light science, dark tones first then add luminescence
