Light Study


This traditional styled digital painting, being set in a snowy environment is naturally full of light as very little light is being absorbed by the snow, its all bouncing of and being reflected. To me the soft pure white lighting suggests perhaps an overcast sky, there appears to be a parting in the treetops that allows the light from the source to directly radiate the upper half of the young girls body. Our attention is drawn there to the brightest point, and then on to her pre-Raphalite red hair which stands out as it is the strongest contrast in colour within the piece.


 This digital painting shows a clearing in a bamboo forest, the sunny day penetrates the forest canopy throwing shadows into form. The top of the picture is full of cool blue and green hues which contrasts softly with the warmer yellows of the bottom. I feel that the root in the foreground and the robot who is slouching and creating his own shadow, create almost a crescent shape of darker hues around the little girl standing in the spotlight/ clearing creating a contrast that brings her to are attention.
