Welcome to Direct & Reflected Light, the third class in this three-part series, Understanding Color & Light. This third class covers the concepts and physics of direct and reflected light as they impact illustration and objects you want to capture in your work.
The skills in this class will allow you to render light from your imagination and capture realism. Once you've explored, understood, practiced, and applied these skills, you will have a huge advantage over those who depend exclusively on photo references.
Whether you're looking to expand your existing work in digital illustration, or you've never considered Photoshop for illustration and are just feeling inspired, this series is perfect for taking your work to that next level.
Throughout this three-part series, we'll cover everything you need to know to add value, color, and light to your scenes & cartoon character designs using Photoshop. By the end, you'll feel not only comfortable with Photoshop's techniques and tools, but also excited by their many possibilities. We will start with a simple monochrome scene, using just one simple light source. As we move forward, we'll add different light sources, colors, and materials. Our final scene will include various materials that each reflect light, color & depth differently.

Then, we will chat about layers and details.
I will walk you through 2 different paintings: a small floral, and a larger coral florals painting.

Hi there, my name is Suzanne Allard, I’m an abstract and floral painter as well as a creativity teacher. If you ever feel the urge to create that’s because you were born to create or that feeling wouldn’t be there. Even if you are scared or don’t think you have “talent,” that urge and desire means that you have the capacity to create. You just need the right, non-judgmental environment in which to do so. This class is perfect for loosening up, making marks and shapes with color and seeing where that takes us. We will work on two different abstract styles that have lots of white space (blank paper). Let’s set your creative spirit free!
