Black, White, Shades of Light

Value Study 

8 x 8 

All that reading about the Macchiaolli Painters 

and then doing the Three Value Exercise 

with my class yesterday got me thinking about doing this.

I used black for everything in shadow,

added a little white to it for everything half in and half out, 

and tinted the white a "local" color for everything in the light. 

This is such a fun way to paint. 

It really makes you think!
