Caravaggio-Bacchus (1595)
No matter who looks at this picture, it can generate a new idea about it. Numerous examples can be made about some brush strokes, some figures, some artists, and even who will focus on where. But of these
there is something we have to see first, which allows us to look at this picture, to perceive it, but never
something inconspicuous. Light and its colors.

In addition to having a vital importance, the color for us
light is a fact that enables us to discover…

Actually color anyway; It is formed by the molecular structure of light and body. It is the reason for everything we see, every beautiful moment and every brush stroke.
In one of the lessons I took, my photo teacher ”If I need to define a picture, painting with light
art is called. ” he said. It’s actually a very deep sentence. Because if we look at the foundation, the only and important decoration of all art branches is light.

But just looking at the picture above or any work
let alone, even the majority of the people who call themselves artists come down to the raw material of this work, not only in terms of visuality, but also the work and the nature of this work. However, in the past, artists have more or less dominated astronomy, mechanics, literature and many other branches, and even others as well as their identity.
Able to keep. In my opinion, the reason they do this is not just paint, but they can fit labor and a desire to touch a mind. So before you look at a picture, you can see how
I think we should look at it.
In fact, most things start with Newton:

One day, Newton fell into a dark room and went inside
a thin beam of light equivalent to a single ray of sunlight through a hole, and then it made it pass through a glass prism bar, seeing the entire color spectrum.

Then a physicist named Thomas Young does the opposite of Newton’s experiment.

Let’s think that a red circle and a green circle are intersected on the wall, and then the yellow color appears.
Then next to it is put blue and the combination of all the intersections is white. So pure light!
Actually, our main subject is how the objects get the color. These are formed by the absorption and reflection of light. It has the feature of reflecting all or part of the light they receive. Why the tomato is red,
Why the trees are green, I have no idea about them yet. I could not achieve a complete result in the books I read about this subject.
The absorption and reflection of light is as follows. For example, a red book; It only absorbs all the colors in the spectrum from white light and reflects red. So we see that object in red.

Now I’m going to do some u-turn because the color work of paint and light is a little different. One of the reasons for this is the active surfactant of the paint. Briefly, the chemical in it. The surfactant is tested for substances that reduce surface tension when they dissolve briefly. In the paint, it makes arrangements that make it easier to apply the paint and wet it with oil. It also helps pigment to be wetted. This experiment by Thomas (I enjoy talking about the people who have written his name like my father’s son) is actually on the color of light in the atmosphere. This is a little confused because the two opposite events come from the same source, the light.
In order to successfully imitate the color effects created by light, the six colors of the spectrum are required. In this case, what to do;
The primary colors of paints, the secondary colors of light
It is to make primary colors of light a secondary color of paints.

Such a change also affects additive-subtractive synthesis. Light adds light to the mix, which is called additive synthesis. The light in pigmented colors disappears. So it is subtractive synthesis.
Primary primary pigment colors; cyan blue-magenta-yellow, secondary primary colors-red-green-dark blue.
In light, this is the opposite. After that, how the pigment paints complement each other, the paints reflect the self-light-reflection
There are topics such as coloring according to perspective, color of the picture according to perspective and eye perception, and how the effect of light on the nature created a colorful riot during the transition to the canvas. So the job is just
Not only does it find out how light reflects, it is a rather difficult skill to analyze how light changes color on nature and to create illusion that it creates on paper. Also, if there is a decrease in the intensity of natural light, the light starts to turn blue and light turns all the colors it affects. The effect of the atmosphere in color is of great importance. An example of this is the fading of the matter away and the mountains on the horizon becoming blue-gray. Flemish school has very good artists that can be an example for this subject (I will add it as well). For this, it is necessary to open up the perception of the mind and pay attention to every little detail.
Whether it is painting, sculpture, ceramics or photographs, the wrong use of light in any branch can cause problems in the work, no matter how proportional or anatomy is, what gives the effect is mostly color and light-shadow. If we grasp the nature of the event, maybe we will look more carefully at the work we do and the landscape we see when we wake up in the morning. Things that we will know are always there, come and go
actually more important than what happened. Just like light.
These are the subjects that we can have an idea about color and light, albeit briefly. What makes them so important in art is that the use of light-shadow plays and colors is great.
to the extent that it can create a great depth effect in man. The problem we face in every aspect of our life is that, in doing something, no depth, substance or where it comes from
we have no curiosity. But sometimes magic is the simplest and can happen at the beginning. Of course, I always say that it is the healthiest to establish a basic and general thinking structure even by getting detailed. Because the perception of color distortion, formation and structure that I have mentioned here is unique to our planet, our perception varies with external factors in every structure and formation. Sometimes we don’t even notice it. Just like Caravaggio in this work
such as heavily criticizing the perception of god and no one noticing this for a certain period of time …
