The art of colour and light with Marco Bucci. Week 3 - Color Temperature

1. Color swatches studies. The main goal is to define how color temperature is changing on light and shadow sides.

2. Simple ball in different lighting scenarios. Now applying principles from previous studies (also from week 2) for a simple colored sphere in different lighting situations. For the last two I used art by E. Tiemens and  C. Whisson.

3. Quick color studies from photo reference. With little improvisation and time limit 25 min I did color studies where I tried to apply all previous knowledge.

1. Focusing on simple shapes.
2. Think more about the actual tone than overall "likeness" while doing a study

3. Five values system;

The first two pictures are studies from masters, 3rd – simple still-life from imagination.
