You can paint all the 3\4 + rimlight shots you want but if you're trying to engross people, finding the weird, specific light behaviors that makes your subject unique is a great way to challenge yourself and make a more memorable piece.

I guess this literally describes like all of impressionism

Specificity creates the reaction of the brain being surprised because "of course that's what it looks like, but I did not expect to see that". It's the small things that separate 95% of experiences that are mundane and forgettable to the 5% that are striking and beautiful.

Even if the subject itself is mundane.

To clear up my 3\4 + rimlight shots, that's not meant to be a dig. ESPECIALLY in concept, often the purpose of an image is to describe form for model and texturing, not to entice an audience. But sometimes that logic is applied to images meant to entice, and could be strengthened

This whole thread is why I'm paying for all these color theory workshops on schoolism. Essential knowledge that outlives stylistic trends.
