Combining Values

 

I’ve been experimenting with combining shapes of similar values
in order to further simplify the compositions.
I did this quick acrylic study today, then did the next one in Procreate,
exaggerating the big dark and light shapes.

I’ve discovered an easy way to check your values
as you work on an I pad;
you can press the home button 3 times
and the screen will revert to black and white.
(Press it three more times and it goes back to full color)

I like this value plan , so I plan on taking this further,
possibly a full on abstract?

NOTE:
I’m working on putting together a series of virtual classes
that I hope to share very soon.
Although, right now, I’m trying to take advantage of
every minute we have left of summer!

Stay safe and enjoy!
See you in September.
