light and shadow I'd like to pose a technical question. I am
quite familiar with the color theory in general (we had that
class back at Academy), and rules and guidelines in particular,
yet there are some instances in which I am not 100% certain
about the correct procedure. For instance, one of those
guidelines is that the lightest dark is darker than the darkest
light. (It is not always valid. I mean - it only applies to
certain kinds of light under certain conditions. In overcast
light, such rules do not apply. Even in sunlight, a very light
ground surface can significantly raise shadow values.) What I'd
like to know is how one shoud draw an area in light which local
hue is equally dark or darker than the shadow? Take an apple for
instance (or people with really ruddy cheeks). Apple may be
yellow/green in hue, appearing rather high value in light, but
there is large dark red spot which is partially in light and
partially in shadow. That intense, dark red is of equal value as
adjacent shadow. If one draws it
