The Anatomy of Light on Form: Part II (Update 1/18/12) For a French translation of this post please click here for a downloadable PDF file: Now that it has been published I can share with you the second part of a two part article I was asked to write for the Portrait Society of America. It was originally published in the Journal of the Portrait Society of America, Volume XII, Issue No. 47. The Anatomy of Light on Form: Part II by Douglas Flynt ©2010 In the previous article we stayed much to the physics of what is occurring as light illuminates a form or object, particularly as it concerns our visual perception. Color Terminology As we continue it is necessary to speak in terms of color since the visual artist cannot express light and how it reveals forms without it. Questions and Assessment When painting, although I have to ask myself about the colors I am seeing and their relationships as a starting point, I feel I can't leave this as my final assessment in determining the correctness of what I have created. Conclusion

Recently I received a question that concerns an earlier image I posted awhile back in the article, The Anatomy of Light on Form: Part II. Here is the image: The question centers around how the use of a sphere, an object so very different from the complex forms of the cast, can help us to better understand how the light on this complex form (or other forms) works. My short answer is, that by understanding how light affects the simple forms of the sphere we can better understand how light affects the forms of a more complex object. To do this, first I would like to start not with forms but with 2-dimentional geometrical shapes. Let's say that we needed to replace a section of the odd shape's contour with a section of the circle. We now need to apply this same concept 3-dimensionally to the sphere and the cast that we originally looked at in our first picture. Thanks for taking a look!
