Painting Diffused Lighting

"I am creating the illusion of diffused lighting in the setting of this painting by placing the well-lit character (that is saturated in color) in a darker room. Mars black is a relatively opaque color that will give good coverage on a white canvas, another option is ivory black." ~Tomitheos

 

 

STEP 3

 

Diffused lighting occurs when the light is filtered, this can be achieved in the painting's setting by softening the shadows, darkening the colors, and by eliminating stark contrasts..
