Yes, Michael.
North light, through a studio window set vertically on the wall, at a given height, gives cool light and warm shadows. This will reverse in sunlight outdoors; however, the reflected lights outdoors play a large part in the shadows of light to medium dark objects.
I found that the reflected light will lighten the shadow on, say, blue cloth, but unless very close - say 6 inches or so - may not leave the colour of the surface the light is reflecting off of in the shadows on the material. Hope that makes written sense.
Down here in the West Indies/Caribbean, the sunlight carries a cadmium yellow light feel and the shadow a blue, but not a simply Ultramarine.
Much looking is required.
Marvin,
I hope Gerome wore shades; and isn't that painting around 2 or 3'? I can feel the heat from the reproduction. As with Gerome, always a technical master.
