How to Draw & Shade Objects & Things with Diffused Studio Lights with the Following Drawing & Shading Lesson

DIFFUSED STUDIO LIGHT.

Fig. 12 represents the same group when it is lighted by weak diffused light coming from both sides and from behind the spectator, and producing about the same effect as would be obtained in a room having several windows whose curtains are drawn.

Delicate light and shade contrasts.

We find there are several faint, soft shadows and no strong contrasts. In this respect the effect is similar to that of Fig. 10 (below), but very much darker, — a fact not well shown by the figure.

Dark objects may have strong lights.

The glitter light upon the pencil is prominent, and well illustrates the fact that even the darkest objects whose surfaces are polished may have upon them the strongest lights of the•group.
