Introduction to the Values Class
Value is one of the three fundamental aspects of painting. If you want to create realistic paintings with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, mastering value is essential.
Understanding and controlling values is one of the most effective ways to improve your artwork and paint handling. In this introductory class, we will explore:
<ul>
<li>The difference between observed values in nature and the need to establish a value gradient.</li>
<li>Various types of value gradients and how they contribute to the mood and atmosphere of a painting.</li>
<li>The role of value gradients in creating three-dimensional form.</li>
<li>Practical tips for working with values in your paintings.</li>
</ul>
I designed this class specifically to focus on value because when learning to paint with oils—or improving your artistic expression in general—it helps to concentrate on one fundamental aspect at a time. By setting clear constraints in your practice, you make progress more measurable and can see improvements more quickly.
In this class, we’ll dive deep into the subject, and you’ll leave with a solid understanding of value that you can immediately apply to your own work.
