Toned Paper: Stunning and Simple Illustrations in Black and White

Join Ohn Mar Win's art class to learn how to create stunning black and white compositions with a focus on shapes and contrast. Using real-life references of fruit, vegetables, and vases, you'll learn to carefully observe and fill in the darkest and lightest areas, using the toned paper as mid-tones. With Ohn Mar's guidance, you'll develop your skills and produce beautiful, striking artwork to take your art to the next level!

Advantages of using toned paper include:

Sketches can be completed so much faster 

Less intimidating than white paper

Encourages you to really observe

By the end of this class you’ll be able to break down forms into their essential dark and light areas to understand the subject better.

You are going to work from three different live references of everyday items of fruit, vegetables and a cup or vase. Its recommended you to collect your own examples of whatever you have at home as then you will be able to interact with them and make better observations and judgements.

Students are invited to: create 3 studies using the techniques demonstrated in the demo videos
