Sun on Your Back
I have been doing a loads of painting outdoors and when I look for scenes I look for a lighting situations that work the best. I have one lesson I thought of the last time I went out looking for painting material... the
lesson is rarely will you get a good lighting situation when you have the shining behind you and throwing a shadow in front of you. The photos below explain how it is better to have the sun in front iof you or on the side of you.
1. Having the sun in front like in a sunset is a good way to show silhouette shadowing and is a very dramatic look.
2. Lighting from the side (like image below) gives you long shadow when the sun gets low.
3. Sun behind you (images Below) flattens the image because you don't see shadows and it becomes like working an overcast scene where you look for local color for you value pattern.
