Value 101: Value Scales (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

Value is foundational to your art practice. It is a core principle of drawing and without a good grasp on value, paintings will fail. In this class, we discuss value, it's importance, and we make three different value scales.

For this class you will need:

Pencil
Paper
Acrylic paint (black, white, and an additional color of your choice)
Paintbrush
A painting surface such as paper or canvas paper

Project Description
In this class, we will create a value scale in pencil and two value scales in acrylic paint. One painted scale will be black and white, the other will be a value scale in a color of your choice.

Glazing and other Painting Techniques (Skillshare)

Architecture & Design

In this class you’ll learn the essential oil painting techniques: glazing, scumbling and impasto. Glazing is an amazing technique where you apply a transparent or semi-transparent layer of paint over another thoroughly dry layer of paint. It's wonderful for creating luminous colors, as well as water and lighting effects. I’ll show you how to mix your paint to prepare a glaze as well as practical applications for applying glazes to get luminous results that you couldn't otherwise achieve by using paint opaquely.

Improve your Drawing Accuracy! (Skillshare)

I've been struggling with this problem from the beginning. Even with traditional media, and especially with digital. For years I thought artists who could perfectly guide their hand where their brain intended must have had some kind of super power. Or they were using a lazy mouse. But there's no lazy mouse in traditional drawing!
