What is in the image: the image is a digital art tutorial illustrating the concept of bounced and ambient light in painting. it uses a detailed closeup of a scarlet macaw as a visual example. the tutorial explains how bounced light—light reflecting off surrounding surfaces like the sky, trees, and the bird's own feathers—defines forms within shadowed areas. it shows how these reflections subtly brighten shaded parts of the macaw without drastically changing the hue. arrows and color swatches indicate the light sources and their corresponding reflected colors on the bird. the text emphasizes that ambient light is the environment's inherent light, and that not all sources of bounced light need to be directly visible. the overall style is clean and informative, typical of an educational artistic resource.
