Threads May 2020 Workshop: Value Balance and Three Ways to Approach it

Following along from the “simplified values” workshop last month, I’ll be demonstrating the same subject painted in values only with three different approaches.

Each is equally valid, and produces a different aesthetic result. We’ll be painting with simplified value blocks again to make each approach more easily understandable. I’ll post the reference photo and materials list a few days ahead of time so you’ll have time to prepare.

We’ll cover even value compression, a more tradition Dutch master-like apporach, and an impressionist approach to balancing values in a simple subject. The lessons learned can be applied to any subject.

When: Wednesday 20th of May, 6PM uk time (10AM Pacific, 1PM Eastern)​

Just pop back here when we’re due to start
