Still Life Painting Experiment with Light Temperature

I painted the same still life 5 times with different lighting and canvas sizes. I probably could've painted this with more drastic changes, such as moving the light source to the right, etc.. but I felt these subtleties would be more interesting and consistent. Also, I got sick of painting this still life, so 5 times was enough! Here's what I did:

#1 - 8x10 - Warm light 2700K bulb

#2 - 6x8 - Warm light 2700K bulb

#3 - 6x8 - 5000K bulb

#4 - 8x10 - Natural daylight

#5 - 5x7 - Warm light 2700K bulb

What I Learned/Observed

• Different lighting situations alter color and harmony [obviously, but sometimes not so obvious or easy to observe]

• Each painting is a new experience and calls for unique handling

• Style is defined by a body of work, not by each individual piece alone

• Size of the painting determines handling

Hope you enjoyed these experiments and seeing these paintings :)
