The first workshop this month will be here on:
Wednesday 14th October
at
6PM UK time (10AM Pacific, 1PM Eastern)
Just pop back here when we’re due to start.
We’ll be doing a value study of two apples, focusing on form and accurate value relationships. In the second workshop this month, we’ll be painting the same subject in colour.
You might want to make a note of your main values for next time 🙂
I’ll be working 6 x 8 inches, and the reference photos are scaled to print out that size. It’s usually better to work from a screen if youi can though, the value range is wider.
I’d advise having a 5 – step value scale mixed ahead of time, here’s a video on how to do it:
Reference photos


Here’s the colour photo too, just for reference. We’ll be using this one next time. Notice how much hue and chroma varioation there is within areas of the same value. That’s the main point I’ll be concentrating on in the second workshop.

So we’ll be practising values first, then practising mixing colours of different hues and chromas but similar values – and hopefully making some nice studies along the way!
See you soon!
