Why is the highlight on a round pot shown small and bright?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because light falls most directly on that area
On a curved pot, the small area facing the light source most directly reflects or receives the strongest light. It is therefore drawn as a small, very light, bright highlight. Hue identifies the colour itself, whereas a highlight is related to light and tonal value. Exam tip: To show a rounded form, identify the highlight along with mid-tones and shadows.
