Week 4- "Or when u haven't been drinking ur water and u get light-headed?"

The text my friend sent me when I told him the sky looked funny
So the only reason I have this photo is because I was up watching tiktoks until 4.30 and suddenly I decided it was time to drink some water and saw the sky out my kitchen window. It was such an odd color, but my camera had hard time capturing it. If I were to recreate this, I would add the slightest tint of lavender and yellow to it, but it would have to be very faint. I was so impressed at how dull and grey everything looked outside. It lacked that pre sunrise glow I was used to seeing, and it wasn't until I woke up later that I learned the foggy overcast was made by snow clouds that left a smattering of patchy snow about two inches deep on our lawn. 
The light doesnt have a super defined source, since this was before sunrise and, as I had previously mentioned, there were snow clouds muddying up the sky. I assume the yellow was from the sun's emminent arrival and the lavender from the clouds' almost perfect sheet overlaying it. I think this would be difficult to make since we can't really cast a grey light? But I suppose the purple and yellow would help out

    That said, nice post and thoughts on color. There are some great colors (lavenders) in the gel book that would get you close to this but to make it attractive to the eye, adding in a small sense of source would help :)

Week 2- La Jolla Cove-Sophia Perez

Image
  I took this picture about 4 years ago during spring break of my senior year in high school. This is the beach in La Jolla. I'm from San Diego so I love going to the beach and have so many fond memories of La Jolla. This picture was taken about mid afternoon and it wasn't as bright and sunny as when I had first got there hours prior and thought it looked beautiful. Since the pandemic has started, I haven't visited the beach at all due to the crowds. As much as I love this picture, I can't help but feel sad to think about the fact that I took simple outings with friends for granted. During this time in quarantine, I've realized that I can't take moments with my loved ones for granted and cannot wait to be able to spend time with them in person.

Week 4 - L'arc en ciel - Grace McCarney

Image
  While I'm visiting California for these few months I'm staying at my partner's parents' house. They have a chandelier in the front of the house that is next to a window. The window is facing west so during late afternoon/early evening everyday the light comes through and creates a stunning array of rainbows all throughout the second floor. This week they were especially bright and distinct. I also just learned how to say rainbow in french so that's what my title is. Whenever I see a rainbow like this, that appears somewhere I didn't expect it, it always brings a huge smile to my face. I know there's a science to it but it really feels magical. I think that is something that lighting does in theatre that not many other design forms can do. Depending on how it's lit and what is lit, it can truly make the stage feel magical. I remember seeing Finding Neverland and there's a sad but beautiful moment at the end. If the lighting wasn't so soft and sp...

Week 10 - Plant Mom - Erica Batres

Image
  This is a picture of my plants at around 4:30pm in the afternoon. The sun was not yet set, but it was definitely "golden hour" peaking through my bedroom window. I love the way the warm yellows from the sun brings out the warm earthy tones of the greens in the potted plants. Looking at all these colors together puts me in such a relaxing mood, and makes me so thankful that I have brought plants into my bedroom. There is a soft cascading yellow that makes this photo feel so warm and fresh to me. When I look at this picture I can feel the temperature of the room, slightly warm, but not stuffy.
