sketch series 3.

for sketch series 3, i took 4 fabric samples to a library, grocery store, retail store and my house. at each location, i took pictures of the sample to compare how the color rendering looks with each light source.

at the library, there was a combination of fluorescent and incandescent lights, but they were quite high on the ceiling, so the light available at shelf-level wasn't as good as it probably should have been. therefore, the samples from here are darkest.

at the grocery store, there were very bright ceramic metal halide or fluorescent lights (i couldn't really tell because they were so bright i couldn't see the lamp). either way, the store was very bright and had a good color-rendering index, so these samples are brightest and have the most true color.

at the retail store, there were fluorescent lights, which also provided pretty true color rendering, but a little on the warm side.

my residence also has fluorescent lights [cfls] but there is pretty much only once light source in the room, so it's kind of dark & dull in the room, therefore these samples look pretty dull.
