Oh look a picture. Painting is hard






Painting with acrylic is hard. As I keep reading this book I continue to get ideas throw at me so todays project is working with a light source.  “When it comes to painting, then the light source plays a very important role on the final result. This is because the light source is responsible for making the colors distinctive and more vibrant” (287, Montgomery).  With this I decided to create a painting that had a natural light source.

"Using natural lighting is an easy start and creates a different picture when used correctly" (290, Montgomery). The lighting I was using in the idea of the painting was that there was a reflection in the water. Showing a bright day with a pretty sky, well I hope its pretty. I used the light source of the sun to create a reflection in the water as well. Everything else was really dark because shadows are a thing as well.




Do you actively think about where the light is coming from in your drawing/painting?
