Gallery: Examples of Light
and Shadow (continued)
This drawing shows a corner of a room being lit by natural light through a window. The light sifts gently over the objects and
casts soft shadows. There is a shape of darker tone, running under the sink and the countertop, and in the left side of the
sink. The darkest area defines the separation of the sink and the countertop. The artist has kept his shadows light to impart
the sense of daylight filtering into every object and onto every surface.
