Mastering tonal value studies

This video explains how to do the tonal value study using ArtistAssistApp.

Use tonal value sketches that capture the light and shadow of your subject to learn how to create contrast and depth in your paintings. Balancing tonal values is just as important as accurately mixing colors. Correct tonal values make a painting look realistic.

Tonal value study

ArtistAssistApp "Tonal values" tab does tonal value study for you.

Tonal values are as important as accurate color mixing.

The right values help create contrast and depth in your paintings.

Tonal value sketches are displayed next to the original image, so it's all on one screen to paint from.

If a painting has a big first wash with just a few highlights, it can be a challenge to know where to paint and where to avoid.

However, having light tones in front of you when painting the first wash is very useful.

Midtones and shadows can be painted over in the following washes.

You can also print tonal value sketches by pressing the "Print" button.
