Thank you ma'am for this excellent quick tip. Your suggestions "balance at any ratio other than 50:50" and "inherent value of a colour" are really helpful.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
How can we begin with the first concepts and progressively build in our understanding?
Watch all my Quick Tips 😊. Seriously, my advise is to first learn to see the varying values in shadows and areas not in shadow. Then learn to see how colors are effected by those varying degrees.

Parabéns 👏

Thanks!
Welcome!
Dear Dianne, Thank you for the qualité of your explanations, it is each week such a delight ! I must say that I do have real difficulties in identifying and then painting values. Would you by any chance have some exercices to recommand, with gradual and increasing complexity about values? The gap between basic spheres or cylinders and a full landscape or portrait is today too deep I've found. Thanks so much !
This might help you: I have at least 12 Quick Tips relating to values. Watch them, then if you still have questions, leave them in a comment. The Tip numbers are 140, 127, 189, 174 ,221. 250, 236, 231, 289, 281, 274, and 266.
thank you
Welcome!
Dianne, I'm confused again about the meaning of "raising the value." If that means becoming lighter, going toward value 1 -- wouldn't that be called "lowering" it to value#1? I have the same value scale as in this demonstration; and, I have changed the printed order to that of yours: "white" becomes value 1( instead of 10, as indicated on the card.)
A different question: How do I go about painting a scene in which the very dark area (plus an almost -black tree which cuts across the entire scene) is in the foreground. The background is very light, with the sun shining brightly on it at an arc from the above- right. (I took a photo of the scene in a park late summer afternoon.)
As we are nearing Thanksgiving, I want to express my thanks once again for all your 'luminations.' C.P.
When we speak of raising the value, it always means to make it lighter. Lowering the value means it goes darker. Don't fret about the numbers. They are just a way of talking about value. I know that numerically, it is not logical, but there are a lot of things in the visual arts that are not logical.
To your second question, pay attention to what's in shadow. See Quick Tips 204, 151, 118 and 140.
@@IntheStudioArtInstructionThank you for answering. I looked in vain for edge lighting on the branches of the large tree.. Is it possible they are being blocked by the bright flowers?
Hellow, again,
What I meant when asking about "going about painting" the picture is: would I have to paint the darks LAST, instead of the usual 'first'? I think I would have to do an INDIRECT painting, letting the background flowers dry first, and afterward doing the in-shadow area with the dark tree cutting across-- is this correct?
[By the way, I inadvertantly typed in the wrong line in the original comment. It should have been underneath the letters instead of across. My apologies.]
Whether building a painting by an indirect or direct method, it is better to build general to specific, rather than image by image. Most seasoned artist develop their paintings from dark to light for two reasons: darks build the overall light/shadow structure of the painting, and it is easier to lighten darks than to darken lights.
See Quick Tip 252
Dianne, I always work dark to light. My dilemma in this case, however, is that the black tree cuts across the entire view and blocks-- diagonally -- the upper two-thirds of the scene which are in light, curving from right to left. There are no leaves, only branches. In other words, I cannot fathom how I would paint the background and mid-ground if I first paint the dark foreground area because of the above-mentioned blockage of all that's behind. I hope I've explained myself clearly verbally (minus a scanned picture) and that you can advise me further. Thank you, again.
I suoi video sono interessanti. Ma non puo' mettere i sottotitoli in italiano?
Ci scusiamo, ma non abbiamo ancora la tecnologia per farlo.
