that lamp is as bright as the sun. this is ye olden days, its just a candle. warm light, and less of it.

don't light the outside of the background windows. light doesn't bend around corners.

the light doesn't shoot forth like a beam, it emits from all sides, and grows weaker as it gets further from the lamp. also notice how warm these images are, like orange fire rather than a pale incandescent yellow.

You won't do it by changing the cone the lamp casts, you have to adjust the environments color.

The walls closer to the lamp should be brighter, the ones farther darker. Make a gradient.

I'd still have the snow underneath the lamp lit a bit, snow is quite reflective.

I think this is why the sticky should teach observation and painting, not construction and drawing. This is terrible. Lrn2color
