Time for more articles on some of the basic things which many experienced artists sometimes forget, the first is about window light, I know we see it all of the time but do we really take a look at it and think about its potential as a way to make our work more interesting. Have a look at this article and see if you have been missing something

We don’t get much white on white here on the South Coast. The weather is so beautiful that snow seldom arrives and when it does it doesn’t stay. But that’s not the only way to get the harsh lighting of snow scenes or the challenges of brilliant sunlight and its glare. Take a look and see if maybe there’s a trick or two that you haven’t tried in a while and might just want to revisit.

This one is a cautionary tale for all coastal painters and photographers, look before you do anything. You don’t want to become one of those GUYS we read about that got washed off a jetty and was never seen again. And let’s not drag the good folks from the rescue services out into the woods because we went painting and forgot about the time and wound up lost in the dark.

And yes, light comes in all sorts of colors. There are times of the day when it plays in the red and orange range and then everyone has heard of Deep Purple or there wouldn’t be a song with the same name, so take a look and the next time you sit down to create maybe the light won’t be just light.
