Composition for Painters: Value

[New Masters Academy]

Instructor Bill Perkins will analyze the different elements of Composition, diving deeper into the explanation of components such as Line, Tone, Color, Shape, Rhythm, and Direction. In this first lesson of a series, Bill begins by addressing the importance of your initial figure ground relationship and how placement is your first step to creating context. He introduces the fundamental components and nature of our visual language – which he will dive deeper into throughout this series.

Materials

• CarbOthello Pencil – Black
• Kneaded Eraser
• Newsprint Paper

We can’t see the reference image is that Bill is looking at as he teaches use of value.  Can someone fix this?

That’s what I’m wanting to know, too. Very frustrating not to be able to see the painting reference alongside Bill’s spatial division demonstration…

[Matthew Sutton]

Agreed would be good to draw along the to a reference image
