Let There Be Light, Edges Part III, Painting Demo

This is the third video in the Paint Light series, where I explore the importance of edges in depicting light. Just as light flows and changes, the edges that describe it must also sequentially change transitioning from hard to soft, found to lost.
The quality of edges can greatly influence how light is perceived. Strong, hard edges convey intense light, while softer edges suggest the light getting dimmer and less.
Edges are a fascinating subject for any painter to study and understand. While the concept can feel abstract-since we cannot discern edges with our eyes. We have the ability to arrange and design them to enhance our forms, movement, spatial positioning, and overall compositional flow.
I intend to create more videos diving deeper into this topic. Let this be just the beginning!

Thanks so much Regina. You not only teach well, you actually give life to light. Your channel should have 182K subscribers not 1.82k

These edges are a really fascinating topic. I remember when I was learning by myself, I would look at the paintings of the old masters and try to recreate their approach to light and shadow and I loved it. Later I found a teacher who painted abstractly and for him the most important thing was the line and sharp edges, symbolic marking of form. It was very tiring for me, because my desire to paint was completely different. He just messed with my head :))) That's why I watch your lessons with great pleasure. It's like I've finally found myself at home, on my own path. I'm very happy. Best regards

Gosh, thank you so much, I am glad you know what is at your heart, it’s easy to get lost in so many choices of artistic styles. The concepts underneath of any beautiful art no matter what medium or style is the same.

Understanding how to manipulate the light. That is what gives us the power to express in a painting. Isn't it?

Yes, I think we are drawn to light, our eyes are conditioned to follow the light and so it can become a powerful tool to make viewer to read your painting how you intend it.
