GREY DAYLIGHT
CHAPTER III.
SECTION VI.
GREY DAYLIGHT.
Grey daylight also affords brownish shadows, but from the greater quantity and diffusion of comparatively colourless light, the local colours of objects become more visible, while the shadows are more varied by reflection and refraction. Reflections take their colours from those of the objects by which they are occasioned. The lights on objects are treated as in the case of moonlight; they are made positively warmer than they appear in nature, and are rendered comparatively cool by the warmth of the shadows.—Plate.
The degrees to which these licences may be carried, must depend upon the style of colouring adopted. The Amateur has had them placed before him, and whichever he may choose, he will be certain to meet with success in the eyes of one party; he cannot hope to please all.
