Threads Workshop 9th September 2020

The workshop will be here on the 9th Spetember at 6PM UK time (1PM Eastern, 10AM Pacific).

This workshop will be a value study of a subject with two local values. It looks complicated, but I’ll do my best to simplify it for you.

The drawing will be a little more challenging than usual, but use the grid to help you and you.

You’ll need a surface to paint on of course, about 8 x 10 inches. An ampersand panel or similar, or oil painting paper will be fine.

I’d also advise having a 5 step value scale mixed ready.

Reference photos:

The pixelated version should help when trying to discern the values.

These photos should print out at 8 x 10 inches if you print at full size. Working from a screen is fine though of course, and preferable in a lot of ways – the value range of a screen is much better.

Just pop back here when we’re due to start.
