Tutorial 81 - Warm Lighting (Patreon)

Unless your image is following a monochrome color scheme, you'll want to try balancing your warms with your cools. When I say balance, I don't mean equalize, I mean to weigh warm and cool against each other. One should be dominant over the other. 

When starting out, we must decide whether our light is cool or warm. This choice is made based on the mood we're going for. Generally, warm lighting is romantic, pleasant, dreamy, natural. Cool lighting is generally indoors, or moon lit, and cool light tends to be a bit creepy or somber.
