    The understanding of value and value relationships is essential to capturing the desired light effect of a scene. In this painting lesson, Ben explains the importance of the overall relationship, and how to plan your values.

    Landscape painting in a studio compared to painting on-location are completely different experiences, each with their own set of challenges to face. Painting landscapes on-location means you’re faced with constantly changing natural lighting, as well as nature, but the experience itself can really make your inspiration flow.

    In this painting course, Artist Ben Fenske teaches you the fundamentals of landscape painting through a series of lessons. These lessons include easy to follow instruction, analysis of famous landscape paintings, and demonstrations shot on-location, to help you better your painting skills.

    I’m enjoying the lessons so far but have a question.

    What is the relationship between the value study and massing. It seems that massing is doing essentially the same thing as identifying values but also adding color. Should you do both? Or can these steps be combined?

    The value study is about how the values work together (think major minor key) whereas massing is about what those shapes are and how they fit together. Of course their meanings overlap and they affect one another.

    what is the practical value of painting in low key or high key?

    Mood, setting, narrative, commission requirement. If it’s a horror type of scene you probably want low key. If it’s a night time scenario. It’s an important step 1 design consideration.
