The Quality of Light

Learning
Written By Bobby Parker

When light fades, color go with it, yet this is not just a question of the quantity of light; it's also the quality. Both time of the day and climactic conditions make a big difference. Morning, midday and afternoon light all have a different effect on color, making them cooler or warmer, crisp of vague.

Distance. Color nearest to us appear brighter and warmer than those in the distance; colors seem duller and cooler as the atmosphere in between increases. If you want objects to recede in the distance, they have to lighten, as well.

Surrounding Colors. Every aspect of color is relative. Learn to see each color with a fresh eye every time.

Hey there, thanks for visiting my online portfolio. My name is Bobby Parker and I’m a Minnesota based illustrator who specializes in photo-real architectural renderings, and I’m not afraid to turn my hand to animation if the job requires it. While growing up in Illinios I always had a childhood interest in drawing and artwork that has stayed with me throughout my career in architecture. I received my architectural education working for some of the most talented architects in Chicago. I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, and pride myself on the ability to deliver a valuable and visually-appealing end product, no matter what the scope. For me, it’s essential to achieve a balance between quality and speed. 24 years after working professionally, I am still combining the fundamentals of art with the most current industry technology, to create incredibly realistic 3D architectural renderings. I love what I do, and I hope that it shows in my portfolio. Please take a minute to visit my work page and drop me a message if you have any questions
