This is a piece I did in college. We were learning about reflected light. I had a box with a red and blue side and a yellow bottom. Those are the primary colors. I set an egg in there and immediately it picked up the colors that surrounded it. I had a small paintbrush and put little dots of color as they appeared on the egg. This is the best example of reflected light I know of.
If two people stand next to each other and one has a green shirt and the other one is white, the white one will pick up the green. If the person in the white shirt stands outside on a sunny day, the part of his shirt in the shadow will pick up the color of the sky.

That is amazing! Thank you for bringing it to my attention, and so creatively too. Such a great piece of art anyway!
Love it!
Great commentary, and fun piece of art!
I love the pointillism style. The colors are so fun!
What a great learning tool! You can see how the different colors reflect on the egg. I love it as a piece of art, too!
