Jeremy Vicker Tutorial 7 and 8

In Jeremy Vickers seventh video he talks about we can perceive light when it is effected by depth and how the light can can start to fade and get darker as it starts to fade of into the distance.

In his final video he surprisingly used old artists as a bases for showing us how light works.  He explained the different methods that the artists used through out a couple of examples and explains that this is how the artists wanted us to see their paintings.

By taking a look at this painting I can now see the methods that the artist used to make this painting look realistic, you can tell the the main source of light in this painting is coming in from the right due the the little bits of white glare visible on the right side of his face, he then gradually darkened the colour of his face on the left side of his face and painted in some soft shadows to represent the absence of light.
