    I’m a hobbyist and don’t have as much time to spend developing my technique, but I always feel like your videos give me a “shortcut” for a lack of a better term, or at least give me great direction. I’m definitely going to try and study this.

    Great video! The way I see it, the configuration that mimics a rotated sky 4:44 might be due to the shape of the cliffs: The most reflected light they receive might not just be from the ground, but also from the directly sunlit cliff to its left. The further the the shadowy cliff extends towards the viewer, the more of its neighbouring cliffs light it catches. But the cast shadow on the sunlit cliff does not receive that much indirect light from its neighbour, wich is in shadow after all and hence the sideway transition, which of course is overlayed with the typical vertical transition for the usual purposes, and thus resulting in a diagonal pattern, or "rotated sky".

    But the way this effect works also helps draw the eye towards the middle of the painting. So it might've still been a stylistic choice by the artist.

    Hey everyone - I see all the comments about my tardiness with the collab. TLDR: It will be up by *Friday, March 10!* EDIT: It's up! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYWimciqh9CvlqQ.html [End edit. Original post below.] I'm sorry it's taken me so long; this was not my intention when I accepted the painting. I've been on parental leave (as you may know from Aaron's video), and while I did begin making the video while taking care of my infant son (initially aiming for a February release), I found that my production quality was dropping, due to the many obligations of parenthood, and I do not want to turn in a sub-par contribution! (I hadn't yet painted the physical piece; I stopped before I got to that point.) I am officially back to work at the end of February, at which point I promise to put *all* of my time into getting this done. As stated above, my personal deadline is *Friday, March 10.* I know there's some who've already lost faith in me, and others who are wary, but I promise everyone it will be the same quality production I always strive for on my channel. See you on March 10th!

    Sowhen a saturated light hits a local color it makes more saturated and warmer, the light will eventually fall off going from warmwarmer to cooler colors. The shadows are the parts when the objests arent hit with light but they still visible bcuz some secondary light sources bounce weaker rays on it, weaker, cooler and not as bright as the main light source. The mixture of ambient light in the shadows is a transition of the colors towards gray. At least thats why i got from this video.

    You forgot to mention one important thing! If you're using Photoshop, you have to switch to LAB color mode when drawing. It makes colors a lot less wonky to work with, much more accurate to the nature, allowing colors to mix well
