Summer Art Exercises: Painting 1 (VALUE CONTROL)
Paintings 1, 2, and 3: Value Control
Painting 1:
Start with a solid middle ground dark shape that will hold the subject in front of it. This will be painted in a monochromatic BLUE palette. You will divide the image into 5-7 value shapes and block in each shape allowing for all the detail you can muster along each edge.
Good luck!
