Workin Wednesday
Color Values
All during March, we have been working
to understand color.
Today is the final day on color and it's all about values.
I've heard more than one art teacher, artist, or art judge say that if your painting is off, your values are probably off.
Here's a short video about values and how to use them.
Values are used to create form and to keep your painting from looking flat.
Understanding and using value is one of the most important aspects of painting and will give you the most satisfaction in your artwork.
You should get out your paints and brushes and any paper you want to paint on and play in your paint and experiment with values and how to give something form.
Try painting a tulip, a cup, a box, or anything else to see how to use value and how it gives your painting life, movement and reality.
If you have any questions or comments,
please post them in the comments so we can all learn.

(FYI I had one of my artist friends comment on social media that she never understood using a color wheel until that short lesson. See, we're always learning.)
