Foundations of Form Session Six

Session Six will be here on:

Tuesday 28th September

at

6PM UK time (10AM Pacific, 1PM Eastern) – check your timezone here

What we’ll be doing

In this last session of the workshop, we’ll be working further on our lemon studies.

Working over the block in from last session, we’ll be focusing primarily on achieving a fine gradation of value and realisation of form on the lemon.

We’ll also be looking at the bay leaves, adding detail there, and (time permitting) spending some time on the cloth.

Throughout, the main emphasis will be on making sure we keep control of the values as we go, by repeatedly checking against the original value map from the photo, using our value scale to help us.

What you’ll need

Your block in from last session 

A nine-step value scale, ready mixed, matching the Munsell scale values 1 to 9.
