Hi Kathleen, it would be better to change the position of the high and low keys in your value chart for your students to understand and remember it. The sun is the most lit light in the sky, so it would be better to put the light keys at the top of your chart and the low keys at the bottom because they are heavy.

Another great video on color! Thank you Kathleen! You are so generous to share them with us!

Great video on Hue, Value and Chroma! Very well explained, clear and concise. Sometime we just need to review what we thought we already knew!

I just want to know how to you think about colors, since it looked different a lot with the original pictures

Why not just use a proportion wheel?

Why this is important to me -- I spend time finding the perfect reference photo and cropping it to be exactly how I want the painting to look. For example, I don't like alot of white space around my still life subject. I prefer it to fill the canvas and even have some areas that are going off the canvas. So when I find the reference photo I like, I crop it on my photos app on my computer or iphone. Then I print it out in black and white and use this method to make and adjustments (ei: cutting it down with my scissors based on my formula I shared) to make sure that when I draw from it onto my canvas it will fit exactly like I've planned. Can you wing it? Sure. In my process, I use the reference photo black and white to draw the lines and shapes onto my canvas so I want to know that my photo is exactly proportional to my canvas. I feel the more you can think about how you are going to paint a subject before you actually start, the better. I also use this pre-painting time to analyze the values, color, etc., It's all part of my painting process.

Wow, I love your take on the heron. You have a great intuitive style.

Kathleen, I appreciate these tips done in a very practical and visual way. Sometimes I am asked by my publisher to create paintings for a retailer, and they love high-key work, so now I am exploring that way of doing things, and find that I really like the effect. Thanks so much for this video.

You are so sweet and wonderful artist and teacher

I just watched this video again a year and 1/2 later and it is CHOCK FULL of good information. Must watch!
