The goal of this thesis is to study the lighting styles used in three selected Edward
Hopper paintings: Morning Sun, Summer Evening, and Night Windows and to create an
original, three-dimensional scene lit in a similar style. For a general understanding of the
reference paintings, visual analyses were conducted before studying the lighting styles
depicted in them. During the process of conducting this lighting study, the lighting styles
in the three reference paintings were closely examined and digitally reproduced. The
artistic inspiration gained from these three paintings and the lessons learned from the
reproduction process are integrated into the creation of the original work which serves as
the final project of this thesis. Consequently, the final project displays the lighting style
represented in those of the reference paintings, refined by this researcherâ s own style.
This study defines an approach to develop the digital lighting that can
dramatically enhance the moods in realistic scenes referenced by lighting in the three
Hopperâ s paintings.
