Gray is a color that can have countless other color values. Example: when purchasing a house/wall paint in gray, one mush pay attention to the LRV (light reflective value) the higher the lighter and lower the darker. *Most important are the color values in the mix, giving an emphasis of: blue, violet, green, pink/red, brown = a taupe-gray or greige. You can uses these variations when shadowing for the effect of light areas with blues, swampy may have a green, brown, and yellow values. Trees have a Light and the a reflective light on opposite sides. Black and white make the true gray and use your creative senses to apply your desires values to the grays. Shadow Paintings can offer great Modern themes, and also alternative intense feelings in a not so regular landscape. This lady does such an exceptional job of Teaching, a true gifting to the Art inclined of a number of disciplines. Much appreciation.
Greetings from Nebraska and very grateful for each of your teachings . Thumbs up and infinite thanks from those who follow her including me. God bless you.
Dianne was doing shading of a drapery...will incorporate your teachings while doing it...thank you for making me a better painter and helping me increase my observation skills...oh I can go on endlessly. You are truly a great teacher. Thanks for being in our lives!
If your camera has bracketing, this can also help you see details in highlights and low lit areas by taking 3 images, one over exposed, another under exposed and finally a normally exposed shot. It can be a bit tricky to set up initially but google "auto exposure bracketing" for more information.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you so much for your videos, they have been invaluable over the last 2 years as I've progressed into painting from photography
Thanks Dianne. I've been experimenting with photos of areas and changing camera exposures to evaluate the light dark values until once again, I can get off my property with good weather. Double delight as I'm learning more about my 10 year old camera. Have a good day.
Very useful as always! I’m also going to try practicing the value study. I’ve been painting a blue tit and had only one photo, it helped to lower the contrast on my phone, but it is still a little bit flatter than I would like, I’m going to get my value finder out tomorrow to look for more value nuance!
Good day I watch all your quick tips as you release them, thank you! Could you maybe do a quick tip on how you know what brushes to use? I did watch your previous tip on brushes, but I would like a bit more detail?
Hello, I have a question possibly for a quick tip....I've been sketching out my compositions using a pencil but it always seems to show through. Should I be using more paint to hide my lines or not using a pencil at all? If I use a brush I find it very hard to be accurate, but maybe I shouldn't try to be so accurate at this stage? Any advice is appreciated thank you!
Vicky, once the preliminary drawing is placed, go over it with a kneaded eraser and take away as much as you can. Doing the preliminary drawing with a small brush and wash, though, might be a better way to go. Another option would be a light gray Tombow pen which is water soluble for easy editing.
Observe where your viewpoint is. Observe where the light source is and whether it is direct or overcast light. Observe the tilt of the angles of the buildings. Observe the size you're seeing them. Observe the variations in value. Observe the hues and their saturations. And paint.
Very, very helpful, Dianne! Some Quick Tips in the future
on gouache studies would be great. Thanks for sharing!
I second that 🤚
I'll do that Joani. It won't appear until summer though. We've already filmed through mid-May.
Very helpful! Painting from reference photos is challenging. Thanks, Dianne!
Yes, photos will not capture what the eye can see.
I learn something every time I watch a quick tip or take your workshops. Thank you this one was particularly helpful!
Music to my ears, Sheryl! Thanks.

Thanks so much Alka! I love being in your life.
Once again, a great demonstration and explanation on value and value studies……..thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
Very helpful, as always. Much easier to compensate with the knowledge as a tool.
Great! Enjoy the process Amanda.
Always grateful for your lessons. Have a lovely day!
I am delighted, Kathleen.
Most enlightening & enjoyable, thank you so much Dianne
You are so welcome, Anne.

It’s a pleasure
Your classes are amazing! So clear and concise
Thanks so much, Vicky.

Thanks, Ryan. So many people these days use point and shoot, though, but both are helpful to know.

Rosee, enjoy the journey!
Thank you Dianne. Very helpful.
You are so welcome, Karen. Thanks for watching.
Thankyou Dianne I am just starting a coastal scene with rocks that are much too dark - just what I need 🙂
Wonderful! Enjoy!

Could you maybe do a quick tip on how you know what brushes to use? I did watch your previous tip on brushes, but I would like a bit more detail?
I'll put your request on our schedule, but we film these at least two months in advance, so it will be mid-May before it appears on UA-cam.
Great tip (tips) ! 👍 👍 👍 Excellent, thanks 😍
Thanks for watching!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Thanks that is exactly what I have been needing; so appreciate you.
What are the two colours you mentioned you are using to make those greys?
I used Rembrandt Transparent Oxide Red and Gamblin Ultramarine Blue.
QUESTION: How many intervals are there between values on a 10 value scale?
9

How do I paint cabins/ barns
Observe where your viewpoint is. Observe where the light source is and whether it is direct or overcast light. Observe the tilt of the angles of the buildings. Observe the size you're seeing them. Observe the variations in value. Observe the hues and their saturations. And paint.
Gracias desde bogota Colombia
My pleasure.
This was a “valuable” visual description of color value…thanks.
My pleasure!
Are you using oils or acrylics?
Rose, I don't use acrylics at all.
@In the Studio Art Instruction thank you. I appreciate your comment. I am afraid of the fumes
