CREATING LAYERS IN ABSTRACT PAINTINGS -LEARNING ABOUT VALUE PART 2

Creating layers in abstract paintings adds interest, depth, and complexity to your artwork which will make your viewer want to gaze at your paintings for longer. This is another exercise in learning about value to practice so you can improve your skills, whether you are already a painter or wanting to learn to paint. The first video in this series titled "How to paint abstract paintings - Art Lesson on value part 1" discusses the importance of value in creating art and how to train your eye to see value by only using black and white. The reason we use a black and white palette when we are still learning value is when we remove the colour our eyes are able to see value much more easily. When creating interesting compositions using the black and white method comes easily to you then you can move to introducing one colour. You lesson here is to now create layers using one colour that will be filled with different values using tints and shades to eye your eye on journey. These little exercises in painting will certainly enhance your skills when it comes time to create abstract art. Remember the idea of these tutorials is not to copy the painting on this video but practise creating your own interesting composition using your tools.
