Looking for Inspiration

I was looking for inspiration, something that always inspires me is looking up Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor's work both of them have a unique style that is their own. They both do surrealism and photo montages in a different way, and also use different media. There work is amazing! www.maggietaylor.com/

Creating Highlights and Shading with Color

When using highlights and shading to light with colors, take for example the color yellow as the light source. It is useful to use a cool color (like dark blue) as the shadow color. Using the cool and warm colors in the image makes the image more vibrant and flowing. I learned this technique from painting. Also, don't be limited by just using the opposite color on the color wheel, you can also use proximal colors. For example, yellow has the light and purple as the shadow.
