How Darks Create Drama and Form
We need shadows in paintings, and we need darks to create drama and craft form. Today, everything is so well lit. And if you're setting up a still life or an interior, the problem is when it's full of light, it kills the form. The more light sources you have around something, the more you lose the sense of form. In this video I tell you how to adjust your light to get more drama in your pieces.
