The relation between light and a white subject, as this egret, is of an extraordinary variety depending if the light caresses, hits or goes through the feathers of the small heron.
Light is the true maker of any hue and color, and, together with its opposite- shade- plays and wins over all visible surfaces, creating ever-changing hues.
Nevertheless, some have difficulty in seeing "all the colors of white" because of the dominating symbolic area of our brain- the left side-that "orders" the eyes to see white when, really, there is a lot of yellow, or grey-blue, or other shades.This phenomenon has been described by Betty Edwards in The art of colour .My students are wary of mixing earths or greys onto a "white" subject; they seem afraid of committing an offence.
This mental block towards the concept of color makes life very difficult for the beginner who is, typically, trying to reach an appropriate green; another color embedded as a monolyth in the mind, while in itself it contains thousands of hues.
