Course Description

Overview

Understanding Value is hands down your secret weapon to better painting. Value is the key to creating the illusion of depth and form in a painting. In this class you will learn how to observe value in a subject and translate what you are seeing through paint.  In the video lessons I will discuss a little color theory, show you how to mix your own black paint, go through some value scale exercises, and take you through observing and painting a piece of draped fabric. 

This class is the second part in a three part series on exploring the characteristics of oil paint through learning about the attributes of color.

Music used for this series of videos is "Piano Moment" from http://www.bendsound.com.
