There will not be a light source, unless you wish to develop one. Light and dark values will be used to give contrast and form to each object as needed to provide a cohesive composition simply nice to look at. Colors can be varied as you feel comfortable with the techniques and you are encouraged to use your favorite hues as you develop you palette choices.
