By definition it the true color of an object.
Like a red rubber ball or a rose that might look a little purple in a shadow but is really red.
What the color is that is not being changed by light , either a cool north light or a hot indoor bulb.
That's what is written.
I question, do we really know what a true local color is?
All objects absorb or reflect some sort of light.
I know the ball is red, that's what I have been taught.
Is it truly red?
And when it comes to skin color... With ones skin, constantly absorbing and reflecting color from around the atmosphere , varies with each person skin and degrees of translucency, how can one find a true local color?
Hmmmm....
So when I'm being told by an instructor to paint the local color... By brain goes into a panick ....I dive into the depths of uncertainty . What is the local color....do I need to be that concerned with it?
I liked it better when I just painted what I saw, no mater how wrong " in theory" it was.
This constint search for the " meaning of life" thru my art might just paralyze my creativity.
Which it may have already done.
