Ways to Create Value (SHADING)
Ways to Create Value when mixing with paint -
1 - Start with white!Always add black to the white paint. You can always go darker, but it takes a lot of paint to go lighter.
2 - Add VERY small amounts of black. Black paint can be overpowering… so you don’t need much to darken your colors.
3 - Clean your brush with water and paper towel. It will prevent “bleeding” of colors in brush. * This is true when mixing all color with paint. A clean brush will help you achieve more pure color.
4 - Colors will lighten slightly as they dry, so keep this in mind as you paint
5 - Don’t rush. Take your time…
