Topic: Paint-along value exercises: I’ll be supplying you with a high-res reference photo (desaturated) of a simple still life set up. We’ll then explore how to approach the values by painting a study of it together.
If you have the Munsell student book, premixing and tubing neutrals values 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 will be very useful for you. If not, try to mix up a value scale ready with ivory black and titanium white before the live stream. If you have ivroy black, titanium white, a value between them and then another between each of those, you’ll have a five-step value scale which will be sufficient.
Ideally, you’ll have a value scale mixed up to match the Munsell values 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, plus ivory black and titanium white.
If you don’t have the Munsell book, take titanium white and ivory black and mix a value visually between them. then mix one between each of those. that will give you a 5-step value scale which will be enough for this exercise.
Here is the reference photo:
And here is a posterised version:
Note that some of hte large value areas are different here, so this version is just to make it easier to simplify the shapes of the areas of value.
