Hey Jungle Painters,
you all have read Raffa's theory parts in the past weeks and this one in particular is interesting for this tip: Rays and Reflection. If you want to read more of them, check our massive tutorial section, specific area "Theory".
This week's tip is about
as a miniature painter always keep your eyes open on strange light situation that happen everyday. Can you understand what is happening in the following photos? Both taken with just s second in time difference while Raffa was having a coffee at Roman's:
Write your guess in the comments and tomorrow we check to find the answer.
We will edit it in this post if we find the right one or give you the answer tomorrow ourselves.
The answer was yet quickly found by many:
"Bounce light. And with a strong colour too."
The next theory part by Raffa will go even more into detail in this topic, stay tuned!
Keep on happy painting!

When the light hits the shirt it bounces against the wall making it look greener?
the reflection of the pullover creates thatnew light situation?
Mr. "Green pullover" moved closer to the wall and the reflection of the light from colour bounced to the white wall. ;)
I have the same feeling as the previous corresponding. I can think of nothing more than a reflection of the shirt color...
In addation to the grren Color the shadow area in the Corner is now illuminated.
Green Lantern enters into the room??? O-O
Green Lantern hit the room :D
The second photo has 40% more Raffa, instantly creating more realistic leathers.
I think Raffas awesomeness just illuminated the wall...
Yep, I just calculated it, with the 40% more Raffa on the second picture the wall is 40% more illuminated....
Thats it. You can update your article :)
Clearly, Raffa's natural warmth has suffused the room with a healthy glow.
strong back lighting and then light bouncing ?
Bounce light. And with a strong colour too.
Sometimes when I think about colour I feel funny.. I mean.. a "green" object actually isnt green.. it absorbs every other colour and reflects green.. so green is the colour it doesnt want... and colour for light is different than colour for paint, additive vs subtractive..
dont get me worng, I love colour theory, but sometimes, it feels like a wizard did it.
I agree with most of the comments :)
Raffa starts to have serial killer eyes?
... Otherwise ..direct light coing into the caméra lens creating saturation illusion on the wall? Francois;)
Raffa appearing with his green pullover causes the green glow/reflection on the wall. This decreases the shadows caused by the edge of the sofa (or whatever that furniture is) AND because of the intense green in the foreground and its reflection caused by Raffas' jumper: the green plant leaves on the window sill have disappeared.
(Also Raffa looks as though he's about to kill/eat the observer: was there a banana behind the camera?)
:D such cool answers! Thank you all!
Blogpost is edited with the answer. Many were right here!
