The plane perpendicularr to the (strongest) light source (where a shadowless toothpick picks) is not necessarily the lightest spot if the object is also specular reflective (beside being diffusely reflective). But it is the spot that has the most saturated local object colour. The spot that is most specularly reflective (i.e. the highlight) is the other spot where the angle of an incident ray of light from the source is equal to the angle from the highlight to the eye of the viewer. The highlight mixes the colour of the light source and the local object colour. For a strong white source leading to a bleak highlight. (For a blue sky over a water surface leading to blue reflections)

How do you prepare your surface ?

Nicole LE GALL Yes, how?

An absolute bore and technically not even on the level of a mid -tier 17th Century still life artist.
