Color - Painting White Objects
in Sunlight
Starting
with a white box. All colors added must
be subtle so as not to take away from the white subject.
- Draw a simple box shape and paint a light blue background to suggest a sunny sky. Pick the light from the right side so that the colors on that side will be warmer than the rest.
- Mix a light value of blue for the top of the box. Use a graded wash from the back to the front, with the front using just water
- Mix a cool red color (red mixed with a small amount of blue) and paint the surface of the ground.
- The shadow side of the box is 40 % darker than the light side. Mix a blue gray, at 40% darker value than the front. The shadow side also receives the reflected light form the floor. While the shadow color is still wet, lift out the color at the bottom with a dry brush, and add a light value orange color.
- Paint the cast shadow with a darker value of the red color mix.
The color mixes are shown below:
