I followed a link from another site to your brilliant section on edges. Now I’m going through all of your older posts. It's always a thrill to discover a blog where I truly learn new things! :)<br /><br />I do have to disagree with your definition of highlights. Contrary to popular opinion and the explanations found in many art instruction books, the location of the bright highlight (“specular” highlight) on an object is NOT on “the side that faces most toward the light source”, but rather depends on the position of the viewer, and moves when the viewer moves. This is easily tested and observed. It is found between the light source and the viewer, where “the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.” See David Briggs’s very helpful explanation and diagram: http://www.huevaluechroma.com/021.phpSBoydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886824392076073331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-33342753381459296822009-02-24T09:31:00.000-05:002009-02-24T09:31:00.000-05:00James, Don't eat that apple!

The answer is longer than a reply to a comment should be, and I think people often don't read the comments. I would like to get this answer up on the frothing surface of my blog. Today's post was written last night,after the light failed, as is my practice, so I will incorporate the response to your fine question in tomorrows post. Lay down on your studio floor with your arms at your sides and wait quietly until it appears.............Stape.Stapleton Kearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226409516935208164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-68160089112491720702009-02-24T08:09:00.000-05:002009-02-24T08:09:00.000-05:00STAP, Studying the bed bug line with a painting o...STAP,<BR/> Studying the bed bug line with a painting of a apple I did, I noticed that there is a range of value between the light side and dark side of the apple. It looks as if this value could belong to both,(darkest light or lighest dark)? also my reflective light looks like my darkest lights. Will the type of surface determine how much reflective light there will be. This was a good lesson learnedJAMES A. COOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882993314906545542noreply@blogger.com
