In Lesson 2 of our Beginner Colour Theory series we take on the most important of our three Scales of colour - Value. Value is the key to developing feel and mood within our images. If we get our Value compositions correct, then this is going to go a long way into helping us create a successful illustration. In this less we'll cover Value for both Form and Landscape, breakdown how we need to think about it, and also do a couple of demonstrations as well. There will be 2 class Assignments for you to attempt at the end of the lesson. If you haven't started Lesson 1 it's recommended you begin there first.
If you are using digital drawing applications I recommend Realistic Paint Studio as it has the best mixing tools for digital paint. If you're using traditional paints I recommend starting with a cheap set of water based or acrylic paints, oils tends to be a little tricky to begin with. Black and White is all you need.
