Planes
in light reflect their light into the shadow planes of adjacent objects. The
reflected light is brightest on planes at right angles to the source of the
reflected light. The hue of the reflected light depends on hue of the surface
from which it is reflecting. In the still life painting below, look at the core
shadow of the front orange, and notice the influence of the reflected light
from the second orange.
In this course unit
This unit shows you how to further describe a form and make it a convincing three dimensional object
by representing the different planes of the light and shade. You will learn:
- reflected lights
- core shadows
- center lights
- highlights, and
- edge planes
You need this knowledge for any painting in which there are one or more dominant
subjects in the painting, or where form is the key element of the painting
such as in most still lifes or landscapes featuring a main tree or group or
trees. Figures and portrait nearly always require this level of detail in their
forms.
