This is an absolutely wonderfully straightforward explanation of light and shadows. I have to admit that this is hardly ever explained. Yet without this understanding, and expression in our paintings, they will tend to look dull and if not lifeless, then at the very least less than masterful. thanks for sharing.
@s.c.mummert6263 hi! Are you familiar with the work of a Venezuelan painter named Armando Reveron? His painting shows some interesting ideas about how to deal with light in the tropics vs in the Mediterranean
You're very kind, thanks! I do have an Instagram channel. However, it gets very little attention right now-sorry. The best way to see new work is on my website www.scmummert.com or to subscribe to my newsletter via my website. The newsletters often show behind-the-scenes stuff, along with works in progress.
Extremely helpful as I approach a complex outdoor lighting situation. Much appreciated!
Thank you … great explanation! Love your work too 😊x

As soon as you said “if you put a mirror here” it all clicked!
Great to hear, Dan! Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you! I understand shadows much better now.
You're welcome! Glad it helped out!
I love Frank Benson’s work.
You and me both! I was blown away the first time I saw Frank’s work!
Soroya is the man
Amen!

@@elluisito000 Just checked him out, great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video, well explained. Your work is stunning! Not as colorful, yes, but more realistic. Wow, glad I found you.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Your work is simply amazing. Thank you for this helpful lesson on light!
Glad you enjoyed it!
An excellent explanation. Thanks for making this video. I must show it to our students at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence.
Thanks Michael ... and thanks for all of your hard work. You're changing the world, one student at a time.
Wow .... amazing painting skills! You are really good at this 👍😊
You’re very kind, thanks!
When you mentioned the mirror, I suddenly realised it's all a mosaic of mirrors regarding the light's influence.
The levels of that influence varies ... but you're exactly right
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! This will surely improve my painting. Love from Alsace, France 👍❤️
You’re welcome!
Thank you SC
You’re welcome! Glad you liked it!
Great. Can you use a mid grey background, white hard on the eyes.
Expand on what you mean John …
I was in awe when I saw your piece, that is fantastic. Do you have an instagram or somwhere you post your art?
