Lights

Here I am, putting lights on St. John's red garment.

After the first lights are complete (as you can see in the pictures above), I use 'floats' to colour the lights.

I also use the floats to change the overall colour.  Sometimes I do this to harmonise the colours.  Other times, I use them to correct a mistake.

 

Lavender just did not seem to be the right colour  for a soldier!

 

As I continue working, I build up the lights giving depth to the forms.

Here you can see the faces as they get modelled and highlighted.

I loved the way the light streamed through the windows late this afternoon as I was leaving.
