Thank you Pete, I appreciate you looking and commenting. The thing that I was so impressed with was the reflected light off of the object (block) that was cast into the cast shadow. I hope you have a good Christmas season too. Ro

Great job one sees the reflected light! Interesting how colors you see are impacted by adjacent colors.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season.

And thanks for the nice feedback on some of my posted works.

It was nice to be able to compare your set-up to your painting. Richard should have been pleased with your efforts.
Personally, I think you did very well at achieving both the perspectives and mixing the colors to match. 10's from me! :-))

Thanks for the comment Patrick. Yes, shadows really add to a painting. To me, shadows really are the iceing on the cake to finish a painting and make it special. I try very hard to notice shadows no matter what the subject of the painting. Glad you liked it. Ro

Thank you so much Elizabeth. I must admit to you, that I love to study and read very technical books. I am abit strange compared to the normal human. When I encourage a person to study, it is because I love it. he he Ro

Shahrin, Hi there, I guess I am trying for the basics. I think I completely skipped it in my earlier painting. The color of the green cube is Cad Yel Light and Black for that green. All other colors use a darker color of the same hue to darken them. I did notice I used some of my left over gray in some of the mixes. The photo did not show a good CYL or CYM color (?) for the yellow square mixes. Blow the photo up and I think you can read the colors I used on my palette (top of page) and the colors of each cube and how the colors changed when I mixed them. The only thing not shown was I used white on the brush to lighten the edges and blend down into the side of the cube to intensify the value changes. /// I have a sheet like this for every painting I have painted in the last year or so. Good to look back on and remember what you used to get to "that" painting. LOL Ro

Back to basic Ro..haha..the most fundamental. Are you using black color to darken the hue?
