HOW TO PAINT ABSTRACT PAINTING - ART LESSON ON VALUE - PART 1

This is the launch of my Learn how to paint abstract paintings an art lesson on value

In this video I explain why value is so important in fine art. I complete a demo showing how not using the proper values will leave your painting flat with no interest. Value in a painting helps your eye to travel around the canvas and can take the viewer on a journey through the painting. I learned the importance of value in the colour theory course I took in University. Many people think that colour theory is about mixing colours and how to use the colour wheel. That's part of the course yes, but it's also about how to train your eye to see value and how to mix a grey scale and transferring that grey scale to every other colour.

Once you know your grey scale you can then practice applying the value scale to landscapes. It's easier to see value and when the colours are minimal. Using a grey scale to complete the first layer in a painting is called Grisaille method. The Grisaille method is a traditional form of oil painting that was used as far back as the Renaissance period. The masters would create beautiful black and white paintings that were beautiful in themselves and then would overlay with washes of transparent colours to capture the value already captured by the underpainting. Practicing by painting black and white abstracts will help you define areas of interest and help to see whether your eye travels around the canvas or not. You can also practice this method with landscapes and then abstract your painting to create non-representational work.
