Carry the lantern down to the shore.
Light one thing and the rest goes quiet. Move across the lake and the pines, the mist and the boat come and go with you.
On a phone, touch the picture and the lantern follows your finger.

Paint the scene. Then move the light.
Rough in a room, a street or a shoreline. Gloamery paints it in gouache, and the lamp goes wherever you point.
Start paintingMove your pointer. You are holding the lamp.
Light decides what a picture is about.
Light first
Most image tools hand you a finished frame and a prompt box. Gloamery hands you the lamp, one source you can carry round the scene until the story sits where you want it.
Practical lights
Every window is a switch.
Gloamery finds the lamps, windows and fires it painted and lets you turn each one up, down or off. The rest of the scene answers, down to the wet cobbles.

I used to light a scene by painting it again. Now I pick up the lamp.Noor Halvorsen, background painter (a fictional quote)
