Sketch Series 3 Analysis

In the first residence photo the light source was one overhead light with a compact flourescent bulb in it, and no sun light was entering the space. I feel that in this setting the colors seemed the most unpleasant. The yellow fabric is very soft with a bumpy texture, and in this light the texture is not apparent. This was my least favorite lighting.

In the second residence photo there was natural light from a window and no electrical lighting was on in the space. I feel that this is the most pleasant of all the settings. The colors are rendered vibrant and seems the "true" color, and the textures are visible.

The retail setting had standard overhead flourescent fixtures. The colors appear bright and vivid but the textures aren't as visible as in the daylight. The texture of the light blue fabric was the most visible and it seems that there is a shiny thread in the weave which is reflecting in the flourescent light.

The grocery store had ambient light from large flourescent fixtures similar to those hanging in the studio. In this light the colors were clear but not as bright or rich as some of the other lighting conditions. The textures were pretty visible.

The last setting was the library. The light in the space was soft ambient lighting, bright enough to read but low enough to enforce the quiet atmosphere. The appearance of the fabrics in this light was very similar to that of the residential setting with the CFL bulb; colors vivid, textures not so much.
