TLDRA videóban megvitatják az értékek fontosságát a festészet kezdőinek. Az értékek a festmény tónusainak világosságát és sötétségét jelentik. Az előadó hangsúlyozza, hogy az értékek megértése alapvető a festészeti készségek fejlesztéséhez, mivel a megfelelő értékek nélkül nem lehet látni. Részletesen ismerteti az értékek meghatározását és alkalmazását, beleértve az árnyalatok skáláját, a kontrasztok fontosságát, valamint az egyes festészeti technikák, például a "lost and found" és a "fumado" alkalmazását. Az értékek megértése segít a művészeknek abban, hogy kielégítő vizuális hatásokat érjenek el munkájukban.

A festészetben az értékek megértése és használata fontos kezdő festők számára. Az értékek a szín világosságát és sötétségét mutatják, amelyeket skálán mérhetünk, például 1-től 10-ig. Ezeket az értékeket a képeinkben lévő elemek közötti viszony alapján kell meghatározni. A festőknek meg kell tanulniuk az értékviszonyokat felismerni.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
A képen lévő legvilágosabb és legsötétebb pontok meghatározása alapvető feladat a festészet során. A festők folyamatosan összehasonlítják a különböző értékeket, hogy megtudják, melyik árnyalat közelít a világosabbhoz vagy sötétebbhez. Az értékelsődleges szerepet tölt be a kontraszt létrehozásában, ami a láthatóság szempontjából fontos.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
A képek általános tónusának meghatározása segít az értékek helyes megválasztásában. Ez lehet sötét tónusú vagy középtónusú kép, ami meghatározza, milyen erősségű kontrasztok alakulhatnak ki. A kép általános tónusa meghatározza, hogy a világos és sötét területek milyen „spottalakozási” mintázatot hoznak létre.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
A színek értékének meghatározása során fontos, hogy az értékeket „lebegtetve” szemléljük, hogy észrevegyük, melyik szín sötétebb vagy világosabb a másiknál. Az értékkapcsolatok folyamatos összevetésével optimalizálható a kép kontrasztja és összhangja.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
A festmények készítése során a figyelem az egyszerűsített értékstruktúrákra koncentrál, hogy az összetett képelemek közötti helyes viszonyokat létesítsen. A kezdő festők számára fontos, hogy a képet síknak lássák, és ne próbálják azonnal részletesen megérteni az űrlapokat.
- 00:25:00 - 00:30:00
A mesterképek tanulmányozása során a tanulók megérthetik, hogy a képek általában egy fő értékskálán belül vannak megszerkesztve. A különböző értékkategóriák közötti mozgások felismerése segít a kép formájának és a helyes világítási hatások megteremtésében.
- 00:30:00 - 00:35:00
Az értékfokozatok a képrészletek között szükségesek ahhoz, hogy a kép különböző elemei összhangban legyenek egymással. Az egyes részletek finomhangolása a színek megfelelő elhelyezésével és az élek kezelésével biztosítja a kívánt fényeffektusok megjelenését.
- 00:35:00 - 00:40:00
A kontrasztokkal dolgozó festők a „foltokkal történő rajzolás” gyakorlata révén alakítják ki a képelemző képességeiket. Ez az eljárás lehetővé teszi a számukra, hogy érzékeljék azokat a finom eltéréseket, amelyeket az árnyalatok közötti fokozatok hoznak létre.
- 00:40:00 - 00:48:56
A végső képelemzés során fontos az egyes értékek szabályozása és összekapcsolása, hogy a teljes kép felismerhető és harmonikus legyen. Az értékviszonyok kezelése lehetővé teszi a kezdő festők számára, hogy az absztrakcióból kiindulva a valósághoz közelítő ábrázolásokat hozzanak létre.

Milyen könyveket ajánlasz a festészeti értékek megértésére?
Számos szerző beszél a festészeti értékekről, mint például Harold Speed, Solomon, Burge Harrison és Arthur Wesley.
Mi az a festészeti érték?
A festészeti érték a tónus világosságát vagy sötétségét jelenti, ami lehetővé teszi a kép részeinek összefüggéseinek megítélését.
Miért fontosak a festészeti értékek?
Ha nincsenek megfelelően meghatározva az értékek, nem tudunk látni; a festmény világos és sötét részei alkotják a látvány lényegét.
Hogyan oszthatók fel a festészeti értékek?
Általában egy 1-től 10-ig terjedő skálán határozzák meg a tónusok világosságát vagy sötétségét.
Mit jelent a "spotting" a festészetben?
A "spotting" az értékfoltok elhelyezését jelenti a képen, legyenek azok világos vagy sötét foltok.
Hogyan segít az értékek elmosása a látvány értelmezésében?
A szem elhomályosításával könnyebb látni, hogy az egyes értékek inkább világosak vagy sötétek.
Mi a szerepe a kontrasztnak a festményeknél?
A festmények kontrasztja segíti a nézőt az egyes részek felbukkanásában és a kép jelentőségének megértésében.
Mit jelent a "lost and found" technika?
Ez egy módszer, amely segít meghatározni az objektumok értékét azáltal, hogy megvizsgálja, hol folyik össze a tónus más tónusokkal.
Miért fontos, hogy a festők "laposan" lássák a világot?
A "lapos" nézet segít a festőknek elsősorban az értékekre és formákra koncentrálni anélkül, hogy belevesznének a részletekbe.
Mi az a "fumado" Leonardo da Vinci tolmácsolásában?
Egy technika, ahol az árnyék- és fényhatárok fokozatosan, füst-szerűen olvadnak össze, így tompítva a kontúrokat.

- 00:00:00okay welcome back Lauren K thank you for
- 00:00:04that for continuing to hang in there
- 00:00:07with us thank you for this donation
- 00:00:10again uh so much appreciated and
- 00:00:13especially uh with a video like today
- 00:00:15where I'm trying to U bring sort of
- 00:00:19clarifying information to people who are
- 00:00:21truly beginners what I'm going to talk
- 00:00:22about today which is values is um you
- 00:00:25know is
- 00:00:27uh it's something you'll have to deal
- 00:00:29with and deal with pretty well if you
- 00:00:30want to be a good
- 00:00:31painter um and
- 00:00:35um but CH Chomper um so someone who
- 00:00:38calls himself Chompers with a number
- 00:00:40behind it I know that's your just your
- 00:00:42handle there um any books you can
- 00:00:45recommend for understanding value in
- 00:00:46paint value in painting specifically I
- 00:00:49think I could spend years thinking about
- 00:00:51how values work well the answer to that
- 00:00:54question I sent him a sort of an answer
- 00:00:56that you can you can places where you
- 00:00:59can
- 00:01:00you know dig in a little bit he had
- 00:01:02already talked about landscape and so I
- 00:01:04mentioned some landscape painters but
- 00:01:06everybody talks about values you know
- 00:01:08from Harold speed and Solomon those guys
- 00:01:11to uh I think Burge Harrison uh da
- 00:01:16Arthur U Wesley da is said his name
- 00:01:23um
- 00:01:24oh there are a lot of resources almost
- 00:01:27anybody who talks about painting in a
- 00:01:28book on paint we talk about
- 00:01:31values but I'm going to talk about it
- 00:01:33today the way um just using pictures
- 00:01:36just in terms of the the practical ways
- 00:01:38that I that I know to deal with values
- 00:01:41but I'm guessing that maybe one or two
- 00:01:43of you are new enough to have not
- 00:01:45thought through the idea what values is
- 00:01:46in the first place so we'll just start
- 00:01:48right into images and this one is one of
- 00:01:51many available
- 00:01:52online um values is just the lightness
- 00:01:55or darkness of a note and uh like all
- 00:01:59the way from black to white and us
- 00:02:01people usually give it like a 1 to 10
- 00:02:02you can whatever you can just give it
- 00:02:04some sort of a rating for
- 00:02:05yourself but you need to be able to
- 00:02:08judge in your pictures um where things
- 00:02:11land in value relationships to each
- 00:02:13other and that's so that's and so this
- 00:02:17was something we did in high school
- 00:02:19actually and I think a number of you
- 00:02:20might have done it it's just a thing
- 00:02:21that can easily be turned into a you
- 00:02:24know a little class time uh High School
- 00:02:26teachers are always looking for things
- 00:02:28like this I recommend this have what you
- 00:02:30do is you have students paint a strip
- 00:02:32like that on the right then you have
- 00:02:33them cut it up into little squares or
- 00:02:36whatever and presented so that you can
- 00:02:39isolate those squares and number them
- 00:02:41and all that I forget how all that we
- 00:02:43did but it it matters values is a huge
- 00:02:46thing remembering one thing that values
- 00:02:48if you don't have values you can't see
- 00:02:50you need dark and light you know and so
- 00:02:53some people think when they say values
- 00:02:55they mean light and Shadow and that's
- 00:02:57not that's you see how problematical
- 00:02:59that is is light and light and dark is
- 00:03:01all we mean how dark is it all the way
- 00:03:03to and all the way to
- 00:03:07U well let's put it this way in the in
- 00:03:09the world of painting you can
- 00:03:13only you know the you you have you can
- 00:03:15only go so dark you can't go as dark as
- 00:03:18nature um oddly enough I mean it's a
- 00:03:20funny thing to say but the surface is
- 00:03:22another reason for that you're painting
- 00:03:23on a surface and there's going to be Li
- 00:03:25hitting so on and so forth so you know
- 00:03:27that if you look at a black note you
- 00:03:29just put down in your canvas and you're
- 00:03:30looking into a sinkhole of Dark Shadows
- 00:03:33that's you know all black over there on
- 00:03:34the side you'll see that they don't
- 00:03:36match so you're saying in values we
- 00:03:39always trying to set up a range of
- 00:03:41values you're saying and the first thing
- 00:03:43I'll ever learn in painting is what's my
- 00:03:44lightest light what's my darkest
- 00:03:47dark and once you've selected those much
- 00:03:49like if you're picking a top and bottom
- 00:03:51when you're going to draw a figure you
- 00:03:53can then you know you then you then say
- 00:03:56and so you'll just make every other
- 00:03:59choice in the
- 00:04:00a a a u based on how close it is to
- 00:04:05light or how close it is to dark and so
- 00:04:07as I said some people will number that
- 00:04:08one to 10 but I don't find it toly
- 00:04:10needed to number it it's just that you
- 00:04:13have to constantly do
- 00:04:17relationships for anybody who's been
- 00:04:19watching this channel you know that the
- 00:04:22argument is relationships is just
- 00:04:24everything right so drawing learning to
- 00:04:27see is learning to see relationally well
- 00:04:29learning to see values is hugely about
- 00:04:31learning to see value relationships
- 00:04:33let's just have some fun though I found
- 00:04:34some funny pictures The Fairly amusing
- 00:04:37ones and I'm just going to start with a
- 00:04:38couple black and white ones so this one
- 00:04:40I put the the photographer's name down
- 00:04:42here this is her name is Vivien
- 00:04:45mayor and uh this is a black and white
- 00:04:48photograph and in the this guy's moving
- 00:04:51a mirror in the mirror is the artist so
- 00:04:53this is a famous
- 00:04:55self-portrait but so if you look at this
- 00:04:58um and one of the things you can do when
- 00:05:00you're thinking about values is to
- 00:05:02reduce the size of the of the
- 00:05:05image U significantly it's easier to see
- 00:05:08the larger values you look at something
- 00:05:10like this and you just see values
- 00:05:11everywhere values just the relative
- 00:05:12light and darkness so if you said
- 00:05:13looking at this one now what's my
- 00:05:14darkest dark it might be this parts of
- 00:05:17this this down here whatever these
- 00:05:19various notes are in the class of your
- 00:05:21darkest dark and and by the way we don't
- 00:05:24have to make it a scale of 1 to 10 we
- 00:05:26can just make it whatever it is and then
- 00:05:28we talk about the lightest light which
- 00:05:29might be that or some other notes
- 00:05:32elsewhere might be in the same range as
- 00:05:34that but you're going to find out what
- 00:05:36is your lightest light and then
- 00:05:38everything you do knows where to where
- 00:05:40to live now you might change your mind
- 00:05:42about how light or how dark you made
- 00:05:43those two notes and you might then
- 00:05:45change your but if you change that
- 00:05:48choice then all the other relationships
- 00:05:50in between will change just as if you
- 00:05:53we're drawing a drawing this big you
- 00:05:55something made it this big have is only
- 00:05:57a much smaller than it used to be etc
- 00:05:59etc you know half of something that size
- 00:06:00is much different from half of something
- 00:06:02this size so much it'll be much the same
- 00:06:04here but you can see then um and I'll
- 00:06:07talk about other things relate to this
- 00:06:09but but you can see then that there's if
- 00:06:11this is your lightest light there are
- 00:06:13numbers of areas that approximate that
- 00:06:16they start coming sort of toward that
- 00:06:18right more nearly and then if you say
- 00:06:20this is your darkest dark you can see
- 00:06:22the certain value areas really now this
- 00:06:24is where you want to blur your eye and
- 00:06:26learn how they do that because if you
- 00:06:27blur your eye you'll be able at least
- 00:06:29see which side they tilt toward you'll
- 00:06:31be able to see that this dark tilts more
- 00:06:34nearly toward the dark side than it does
- 00:06:36to the light it doesn't tend to join
- 00:06:39whereas this middl tone even this one
- 00:06:41arguably but probably this one will tend
- 00:06:43toward the darks but but these middle
- 00:06:45tones here all these here are tending
- 00:06:47toward the lights a little more than
- 00:06:48toward the darks if you see them side by
- 00:06:51side so in any case so you can talk
- 00:06:53about all these things some people talk
- 00:06:55about the word half tones they use the
- 00:06:56word half and if you're talking about
- 00:06:58black white
- 00:07:00then right in the middle is some note it
- 00:07:02might be a note like this one you might
- 00:07:03call that half but halone just means
- 00:07:06somewhere in that isn't the darkest dark
- 00:07:08or lightest
- 00:07:11light but one thing I want to mention in
- 00:07:14talking about this one though is that
- 00:07:16all pictures you're going to see and
- 00:07:17I'll talk about others with it but all
- 00:07:19pictures you're going to see take on a
- 00:07:21what we call a general tonality that's a
- 00:07:23general value and so that this picture
- 00:07:26is not a a dark picture let me see um
- 00:07:29I'm going to go get a dark picture let's
- 00:07:32go get this one you see that one that's
- 00:07:33a dark that's a dark picture the picture
- 00:07:36up on the right but you can see this is
- 00:07:38a half tone picture it's a it's General
- 00:07:41tonality is half value it's not a dark
- 00:07:43picture and when you have a middle tone
- 00:07:45as your general value it's and and part
- 00:07:49of the way you figure out that that's
- 00:07:50what it is first of all you just look at
- 00:07:51it you can see this isn't a dark picture
- 00:07:53if you compare it with this see this
- 00:07:55area over on the side of the screen if
- 00:07:57you just look at black you'll see the
- 00:07:58difference you'll begin to see the
- 00:08:00difference but um so what that does
- 00:08:04though it if you have a middl tone
- 00:08:06picture it means that the darks and the
- 00:08:09lights can be featured right and that
- 00:08:11means that and since everything we do
- 00:08:13when I say that values are required for
- 00:08:16seeing it requires contrast so the more
- 00:08:19contrast the more projective a thing is
- 00:08:21to your eye the more your eye will pick
- 00:08:22it up um like this piece of the Hat the
- 00:08:25eye will pick that up pretty well or
- 00:08:27this spot over here because the the
- 00:08:30contrast is so great we have a factor
- 00:08:32like sharpness of edge which you have to
- 00:08:34know how to do to to manage that kind of
- 00:08:36stuff too and I'll show you if I can
- 00:08:39manage to remember it I'll show you how
- 00:08:41we process this but you know what values
- 00:08:44are though now you just know that
- 00:08:46there's there and it's a scale you want
- 00:08:48to say that there's the darkest the
- 00:08:50middle but it's just that's all it is
- 00:08:53the darkness and lightness of a note no
- 00:08:55matter what color it is we'll use color
- 00:08:56two to talk about this so you don't get
- 00:08:59lost in
- 00:09:00it but uh but you can see that this
- 00:09:03picture has just all kinds of values you
- 00:09:05know goes from here and all sort these
- 00:09:07guys here aren't as light and then some
- 00:09:08of the window spots or this area or some
- 00:09:10of these or maybe next and you can see
- 00:09:13that it climbs up to this one and then
- 00:09:15and and gets darker to this one and
- 00:09:18darker to this one which is held held
- 00:09:21held over here and over here um we'll
- 00:09:24talk more about how how to see these
- 00:09:26things there's a couple different things
- 00:09:27I want you to think about um if you want
- 00:09:29have easy success with this that help
- 00:09:31you to see relationships better but it's
- 00:09:33all in seeing the relationships but you
- 00:09:35could do a count you could actually
- 00:09:37probably if you've got inclined you
- 00:09:39could take a picture like this a
- 00:09:40photograph of it and you could probably
- 00:09:42cut out these sections and make yourself
- 00:09:44that same scale that I just showed you
- 00:09:45could take the darkest dark and the next
- 00:09:48darkest and just line them all up and
- 00:09:49you'd be able to see you know you'd be
- 00:09:51able to see the scale in actually in
- 00:09:54action in a picture now I got this one
- 00:09:57because this is a pretty this picture
- 00:09:59was taken by a photographer when gaml
- 00:10:01was still alive obviously and
- 00:10:06uh I think it was for a show or for a
- 00:10:09book I forget which it was for that he
- 00:10:11did but he designed Mr gamble designed
- 00:10:13this picture but um so one of the one of
- 00:10:16my fellow students was pointing out that
- 00:10:18he he was he was making himself into
- 00:10:21batty he was picking he's a picture of a
- 00:10:22bat and he has a pointing right at his
- 00:10:24head and we all took um uh Delight in in
- 00:10:28thinking that he was pulling the
- 00:10:30photographer's
- 00:10:31leg but
- 00:10:33um the way he did it it looked like the
- 00:10:36camera was being mostly run by gaml and
- 00:10:38the way the setup was set up it was very
- 00:10:39clear uh that what he was trying to do
- 00:10:42so now what happens when you start
- 00:10:43thinking this way so this generally
- 00:10:45speaking you see is a slightly darker
- 00:10:47picture isn't it the general totality is
- 00:10:49darker even though the lights are
- 00:10:52lighter or there's more of the light
- 00:10:54lighters it still comes across feeling
- 00:10:56like and that's all I'm talking about it
- 00:10:58feels like you youd think of this as a
- 00:11:00dark certainly the darks as a large have
- 00:11:02a dominate a greater mass but again you
- 00:11:05can see the darkest darks and through
- 00:11:06here and you can see this next level
- 00:11:08right through here and these things have
- 00:11:11to be organized they have to be right to
- 00:11:12each other your picture will not do
- 00:11:14this and all you do that you just do it
- 00:11:16with your eyes but there are other
- 00:11:18things we're going to show you too that
- 00:11:20you'll be thinking to
- 00:11:22do but and by the way that distribution
- 00:11:25of lights and darks we call
- 00:11:27spotting um now you'd say that these
- 00:11:30things gamma would say that these are
- 00:11:33this these whites create patterns on the
- 00:11:35page patterns you see the shapes just
- 00:11:38interesting patterns in the sense of
- 00:11:40cutting out a pattern you know like a
- 00:11:42dress um and the darks do the same thing
- 00:11:44but the spotting is an interesting thing
- 00:11:46if it's a picture is dominated by dark
- 00:11:48the lights will be spotted around that's
- 00:11:50an expression we use there might be a
- 00:11:52better
- 00:11:54expression I just don't know what it is
- 00:11:57yet all right right so there you are um
- 00:12:01but
- 00:12:03now this is one of those places where
- 00:12:05you can begin to see though the um range
- 00:12:07in a color world and and to see the
- 00:12:10color better it definitely is useful to
- 00:12:12to blur your eye just to kill color
- 00:12:14quality and by the way because you kill
- 00:12:16color quality when you blur your eyes is
- 00:12:18a reason not to blur your eyes when
- 00:12:20you're looking at color notes don't try
- 00:12:21to understand color but you can
- 00:12:23understand the values of color or the
- 00:12:25proximity of values to each other what I
- 00:12:28want to talk about here is this is a
- 00:12:29piece of actual you know it's a
- 00:12:31photograph we took of something on the
- 00:12:32wall but I want you to notice that if
- 00:12:35you look at at a picture the value of
- 00:12:39this and the value of this at the same
- 00:12:41time now we we're accepting that they're
- 00:12:43both darks and you could even do it with
- 00:12:45this value or to this one or this this
- 00:12:49but if you just put them both in your
- 00:12:50eye at the same time and just pause
- 00:12:53don't try to understand them or anything
- 00:12:54just notice and one of them will appear
- 00:12:57lighter than the other one they are the
- 00:12:58darks but one of them is going to say
- 00:13:00I'm lighter than you right now you could
- 00:13:03do the same thing with this and this one
- 00:13:05now this is what I call floating values
- 00:13:07but if you do them so people will if you
- 00:13:10finish what I'm
- 00:13:12saying uh if you do them consistently
- 00:13:14just floating them and don't try
- 00:13:18to figure it out um you'll be able to
- 00:13:21see whether or not this value is lighter
- 00:13:23than this one this value is darker than
- 00:13:25this one and then having made the two
- 00:13:27values what you want to do though as
- 00:13:29having made them is just check them and
- 00:13:32see if they operate as the same set uh
- 00:13:35when you see them both painted so you're
- 00:13:38going to hit these notes and then you're
- 00:13:39going to watch and see if they sit in
- 00:13:41the same range when you're looking at
- 00:13:43this and this as two things just
- 00:13:45floating in Your Vision you'll see if
- 00:13:47they feel like they're are the same set
- 00:13:49one being darker than the other nothing
- 00:13:52much more than that but you know this
- 00:13:54value here is probably the same value as
- 00:13:56this and you can be you it can this one
- 00:13:59can look darker than this one well with
- 00:14:02values that thing should look darker I
- 00:14:05should say the one above here should
- 00:14:06look darker if in nature it looks darker
- 00:14:08but it doesn't mean it is darker and
- 00:14:11those are the ways you can sort of have
- 00:14:12your eyes mess you up if you float you
- 00:14:15this one here looks like it's pretty if
- 00:14:17I float now again I say that's what you
- 00:14:18do is you get these two color notes and
- 00:14:21you get them both in your eye at once
- 00:14:22and you just let them sit there and you
- 00:14:24let them make decisions let them say
- 00:14:25who's darker who's lighter but don't go
- 00:14:28back and forth just look at them
- 00:14:29together and but this one here appears
- 00:14:31to be taking on about the same value as
- 00:14:33this it appears to be the same um does
- 00:14:37it appear to be the same as this it's
- 00:14:39probable that it is but sometimes they
- 00:14:40appear to be more the same than others
- 00:14:42but that's what the things you're going
- 00:14:43to do this value here or this one where
- 00:14:45do they live if you float them again
- 00:14:48they begin to look more like this but it
- 00:14:50looks like a light because of the
- 00:14:51circumstances in which it's sitting and
- 00:14:54that's something you just it happens to
- 00:14:56color it happens to everything you get
- 00:14:57faked out by the circumstance an es by
- 00:14:59the
- 00:15:00context
- 00:15:03so let's go through some more pictures
- 00:15:05and I'll come back to that um I want to
- 00:15:08grab this one for color I may come back
- 00:15:10to that I should say I don't want to
- 00:15:11Promise Too Much here now this is over
- 00:15:14the hilltop and I'm showing you some
- 00:15:15stuff that's kind of fun this is over
- 00:15:16the hilltop looking from the site we're
- 00:15:18building on and if you walk down to
- 00:15:20where the fence line is which is the
- 00:15:22boundary to this Farm you'll start
- 00:15:24seeing the um possibilities here we're
- 00:15:27up were elevated pretty good that's
- 00:15:29probably Vermont over there this down
- 00:15:32below here is the town of North havil
- 00:15:34and this is the GU farm so here we are
- 00:15:37here's here's your darkest dark right
- 00:15:39here right this is probably your
- 00:15:41lightest light and this is fundamental
- 00:15:43to all that goes on here and then
- 00:15:46everything else is about getting these
- 00:15:47guys to land more in proximity to the
- 00:15:50darkest
- 00:15:51darks or more in proximity to the
- 00:15:53lightest
- 00:15:55lights uh in other words to use that
- 00:15:57blurring of the eye mechanism to see who
- 00:15:59it tends to join like this light here
- 00:16:01tends to join this whole middle tone
- 00:16:03tends to be more like that although some
- 00:16:05of this you can see there's this serious
- 00:16:07of steps down there's this and then
- 00:16:09there's this I'm just going through the
- 00:16:11darks and then there's this and then
- 00:16:13what's next you know is it TH or is it
- 00:16:15this or this and you can see that what
- 00:16:18we're dealing with and and some of that
- 00:16:20same middle tone here is probably also
- 00:16:22up here but that's what you want to get
- 00:16:24good at just floating these things in
- 00:16:26isolation in relation to each other but
- 00:16:28the next thing you want to do is make
- 00:16:29sure that when these values meet they
- 00:16:31pop these these these what I'm going to
- 00:16:33call light effects right you have to get
- 00:16:35the right amount of contrast and you
- 00:16:37can't see that contrast right if you
- 00:16:39don't have the edge sharp enough so when
- 00:16:42you're painting that's one of the
- 00:16:43reasons we draw more articularly at the
- 00:16:45beginning even when we're trying to lay
- 00:16:46something
- 00:16:48in we get the color going out there but
- 00:16:51we also get the value relationships to
- 00:16:53produce this glow of light here of this
- 00:16:55one here we're trying to make these
- 00:16:58these events happen because now what
- 00:17:00happens is these effects are produced by
- 00:17:02value contrast plus Edge and so because
- 00:17:05we're floating them in relation to each
- 00:17:06other that's going to be the second way
- 00:17:08we use to Pro to improve our values so
- 00:17:10the first one is to float the values and
- 00:17:12just look at them in relation to each
- 00:17:13other try to see this one while you're
- 00:17:15looking at this one are these the
- 00:17:17same again you I'm going to suggest
- 00:17:20again that you've heard me say before
- 00:17:21that you look away look to one side put
- 00:17:24those in your mind but look over here
- 00:17:26and let them both sit there while you're
- 00:17:28looking over here
- 00:17:29um and don't get faked out try to do by
- 00:17:32just floating don't get faked out by the
- 00:17:33light effect but the next thing we do is
- 00:17:34we don't allow ourselves to get faked
- 00:17:35out because we make the light effect
- 00:17:37here we make whatever light effects
- 00:17:39associate with this value up
- 00:17:42here and then we can compare by floating
- 00:17:45again the effect to the effect okay now
- 00:17:49remember this entire game is one of
- 00:17:52relationships so figuring out all the
- 00:17:55many ways these things uh
- 00:17:59uh relate to each other requires you to
- 00:18:01use your eyes in multiple different ways
- 00:18:04so um so but when I say effect though I
- 00:18:07do mean that feeling of light that you
- 00:18:09get when you put a dark next to a light
- 00:18:11this there's a relative feeling of light
- 00:18:13and you want to get that quality there
- 00:18:15sometimes it's produced also by chroma
- 00:18:17right what I mean to say the values have
- 00:18:19to be right but the chroma may be a
- 00:18:21factor in faking you out or helping you
- 00:18:24out but uh in any case once you once you
- 00:18:27get to the U your Pat see when you first
- 00:18:30put down notes as an impressionist
- 00:18:32you're just spotting color values so
- 00:18:34you're putting down definitely a Blaha
- 00:18:36dark blob a dark here you're spotting
- 00:18:38something here you're spotting something
- 00:18:40there you're spotting I always start
- 00:18:41with the light so I'm spotting something
- 00:18:43here I'm looking at this color note here
- 00:18:46because it's the lightest of the sky
- 00:18:47area um I'm spotting this you know just
- 00:18:50spotting some notes around with the idea
- 00:18:53of trying to see what sort of value
- 00:18:54range exists out there and what what
- 00:18:56painting can do and then we literally
- 00:18:59then go to putting some of the points
- 00:19:01side by side and seeing what it's going
- 00:19:03to take to produce that remarkable
- 00:19:04effect there both to improve the color
- 00:19:06relationship suddenly this looks redder
- 00:19:09than it did a minute ago or if you
- 00:19:10thought about it in isolation because of
- 00:19:12its proximity to this
- 00:19:14blue and uh as of course it also gets
- 00:19:16informed by what happens where it's in
- 00:19:18proximity of this assuming this is the
- 00:19:19same
- 00:19:21value um but what you then are find
- 00:19:24yourself doing is finding the the
- 00:19:26quality of the light effect here getting
- 00:19:28the color value right of this color
- 00:19:30value right that and the edge right and
- 00:19:32you're getting that same thing to happen
- 00:19:33here and then you again float those two
- 00:19:37effects those two events in relation to
- 00:19:40each other and this is the this is the
- 00:19:42process that I use for researching the
- 00:19:44color notes of course the fun part is
- 00:19:47that also begins it helps you to begin
- 00:19:48to locate important stuff in the
- 00:19:50composition you know like this light
- 00:19:52effect is going to be important but it
- 00:19:53begins to locate this thing that might
- 00:19:55be something like a center of Interest
- 00:19:57or a spot of Interest
- 00:19:59um but you can see you'll need you'll
- 00:20:01have to locate this there things like
- 00:20:03this note here you know that's to that
- 00:20:05you know these are exits so you know to
- 00:20:07an extent that's a good picture I mean
- 00:20:08that's another story
- 00:20:11entirely okay but that gives you an idea
- 00:20:13though this is a the light effect is
- 00:20:15produced by value contrast plus
- 00:20:17Edge and there's an element of chroma
- 00:20:20involved in it and you can't an
- 00:20:23impressionist says don't dismiss any of
- 00:20:24them don't just get the values right and
- 00:20:25then try to glue color onto it you'll
- 00:20:28first of all you'll run out of what do
- 00:20:31you call Neural
- 00:20:32energy so let's see what else is here
- 00:20:34that might be useful now the one thing I
- 00:20:37I'm showing you this one because I want
- 00:20:38you to be aware that if you don't see
- 00:20:40the world as flat as just 2D then this
- 00:20:44thing doesn't make as much sense to you
- 00:20:46now I've showed you this Scribble down
- 00:20:48below here this demonstration of I did
- 00:20:50something that was sort of like this
- 00:20:51there was a table over here somewhere in
- 00:20:53here with junk on it and another table
- 00:20:55or something up in here and something
- 00:20:58way in the distance up there cloth or
- 00:21:00maybe that was a gap in the in the light
- 00:21:02over there like this might be like this
- 00:21:04here but you can see that what I've done
- 00:21:07nothing in here has become what I'd call
- 00:21:09real the shapes are all real but there's
- 00:21:12no attempt to paint an object here and
- 00:21:14what I've done is I've stayed in the
- 00:21:15field of color values but in this case
- 00:21:17pure values and I recommend this you
- 00:21:19take a thing like this as full color and
- 00:21:21you begin to try to reduce it to a
- 00:21:23values
- 00:21:25statement and if you paint the way I
- 00:21:27said you get the value to the value the
- 00:21:29value see white to less white to lesser
- 00:21:32white to whatever in that range uh and
- 00:21:35the dark is dark maybe it's this or
- 00:21:36maybe it's some of this maybe it's all
- 00:21:38this stuff in through here or
- 00:21:39significant parts of that and you're
- 00:21:42floating those things like you see this
- 00:21:44one is a middle tone compared to these
- 00:21:46out here and by the way when Sergeant
- 00:21:48talks about I'll show you Sergeant but
- 00:21:50he talks about middle tones um you know
- 00:21:53you're looking at a picture like this um
- 00:21:56or I mean when he talks about values he
- 00:21:58talks about like pictures tend to have
- 00:21:59something like four or five values or
- 00:22:01some number I forget what he said they
- 00:22:02it tends to to break down that way but
- 00:22:04you could easily see how this picture
- 00:22:06here these big darks dominate this
- 00:22:08picture it's really almost this one
- 00:22:09value but there's a secondary Dart so
- 00:22:12there's a step down middle Val a step
- 00:22:15down uh and maybe that would include
- 00:22:19this one as another one so that's one
- 00:22:20two three then you jump to the other end
- 00:22:22and there's the brightest light which
- 00:22:24these two are pretty much part of but
- 00:22:26then you'd see their steps down in those
- 00:22:29uh so those wind up forming a a the
- 00:22:32significant values now every picture has
- 00:22:34no end of values but it's not it's
- 00:22:37useful to know when you're to to know
- 00:22:39when you're blur your eyes that you can
- 00:22:40make eliminate a bunch a whole bunch of
- 00:22:42this stuff for now and at that point
- 00:22:45you're talking about the great the great
- 00:22:47value of the area and I do it if it's
- 00:22:49got busyness I do it in a busy kind of
- 00:22:51markeing way so that I'm not trying to
- 00:22:53avoid I just don't want to draw in here
- 00:22:55but I don't want it to look
- 00:22:56simplistically flat it's feel like the
- 00:22:59general impression if I do that but
- 00:23:01nevertheless that's the pursuit of you
- 00:23:03as in you're clearly going after what's
- 00:23:05my darkest dark what's my light is light
- 00:23:08and we're spotting some values around
- 00:23:10initially as I've shown you and by the
- 00:23:12way I want to say that Mr Producer will
- 00:23:14put up on the screen I think we've done
- 00:23:15no fewer than five videos on
- 00:23:17values I'll try to get those in hand but
- 00:23:20there're easy to spot uh but probably
- 00:23:22maybe as many as seven or eight um and
- 00:23:26uh they're all covered this in a
- 00:23:27different way this is just the pure
- 00:23:29pragmatic when you see values this is
- 00:23:30what you think stuff okay other ones
- 00:23:33have to do with light effects more
- 00:23:34particularly and that sort of thing but
- 00:23:37um so we'll try to give that to you but
- 00:23:39but what I want to say is you think of
- 00:23:41these things just in terms of the of the
- 00:23:44local shape at its where it's where you
- 00:23:47need the effect to play and so we had to
- 00:23:50do all this we had to get find our way
- 00:23:52around here but we didn't necessarily do
- 00:23:54it at once in fact I tend to float
- 00:23:55Corners like this and get out other
- 00:23:57points like this exit over here and this
- 00:23:59exit over here maybe even this exit and
- 00:24:01get a series of points with their
- 00:24:03effects floating around in relation to
- 00:24:05each other so you hear me talking about
- 00:24:06that but that's effects what I mean to
- 00:24:09say by effects though is it's value
- 00:24:10contrast plus Edge and it's all it is in
- 00:24:12this in this setting so it's the value
- 00:24:16contrast where it's immediately
- 00:24:18happening right exactly there not the
- 00:24:21general value of this but the immediate
- 00:24:22effect in that value there but this here
- 00:24:24still is a big General middl tone value
- 00:24:27that you can maybe some other versions
- 00:24:30of in other places this might even be
- 00:24:31one of them it looks like it could be
- 00:24:32but it's looks more maybe more
- 00:24:35nearly in the light
- 00:24:37family so so yeah I hope you can see
- 00:24:41what I mean by these larger values again
- 00:24:43if you blur your eyes you'll see which
- 00:24:44ones hang together you'll want to make
- 00:24:47marks out of these lights this is the
- 00:24:49composition here these this some of this
- 00:24:51and this little of this and some of
- 00:24:53these darks up here are the significant
- 00:24:56events in this painting So if you're
- 00:24:58your eyes they're events that are
- 00:25:00produced by values okay so one of the
- 00:25:04things we do is we spot values so if
- 00:25:06you're going to draw do this you don't
- 00:25:08have to go up here and draw it you can
- 00:25:09just chunk a piece of dark up there
- 00:25:12that's drawing by mass right so you can
- 00:25:14Mass draw a chunk of that and have a
- 00:25:16look at it and manage one edge of it to
- 00:25:18they get the value effect right to some
- 00:25:20other
- 00:25:21one and again and what you're going to
- 00:25:24want to do is be pure values you hold
- 00:25:27this in your eye while you're looking at
- 00:25:28this
- 00:25:29one uh and make an estimate that they're
- 00:25:32the same not the same one I'm lighter
- 00:25:34darker and then as you go further along
- 00:25:36in the painting as you articulate The
- 00:25:37Edge quality and the contrast at this
- 00:25:39Edge you may change your mind about it
- 00:25:42but these have to have that impact that
- 00:25:45projection to your eye as you get the
- 00:25:47values circumscribing it right so
- 00:25:50there'll be a certain impact visual
- 00:25:52impact I forget what is the term that
- 00:25:54Meldrum uses disturbance or something
- 00:25:56like that so there a you know out of the
- 00:25:59boring ordinary there's vague there
- 00:26:01vague things here that hardly disturb
- 00:26:02the world at all but that's more
- 00:26:04disturbing you me the way he says it and
- 00:26:06that's very striking strikingly so this
- 00:26:08is fairly striking this is not as
- 00:26:11striking because of it is contrasty but
- 00:26:13it's softer feeling compared to this at
- 00:26:15least in this
- 00:26:16Photograph um so these are these these
- 00:26:21value joints are ways for example if you
- 00:26:25don't get this light effect right to
- 00:26:27this light effect here it's it's it's
- 00:26:29you're missing some information that'll
- 00:26:30be very helpful getting this value right
- 00:26:32to this value down here Etc you know if
- 00:26:35you follow what I'm saying so there are
- 00:26:37many ways lost and found is one of the
- 00:26:39classic ways to find what the value is
- 00:26:42of a of an
- 00:26:43object um for example if you don't know
- 00:26:46what value this object is here notice
- 00:26:48that this one it comes right into here
- 00:26:49and joins this has the same value
- 00:26:51essentially ignoring this little data in
- 00:26:53here but this value here is looks like
- 00:26:55it wants to be the same as this one here
- 00:26:57now that's a so that's a lost and found
- 00:26:59mechanism that where you can float the
- 00:27:01notes that's one you can deal with
- 00:27:04contrast to contrast to contrast and
- 00:27:05correct values um and then you but you
- 00:27:08can also run do the runon so when a
- 00:27:11value joins another value that's
- 00:27:14information about and it happens all
- 00:27:16over the place that that's information
- 00:27:18about the the value of both both sides
- 00:27:20they are the same so you know if this
- 00:27:23appears to run onto that even if it
- 00:27:25seems to be running toward running into
- 00:27:27that that's useful information and
- 00:27:29you'll be able to see this almost as if
- 00:27:30it was one value that's useful
- 00:27:33information so you look at any object
- 00:27:35you'll see a different color and this
- 00:27:36where most of you guys will get confused
- 00:27:38if you're a beginner you'll see this and
- 00:27:40you'll see you'll paint it as a separate
- 00:27:42object you'll create a silhouette here
- 00:27:44where there really isn't one or it's so
- 00:27:47minor you wouldn't never make it or not
- 00:27:49soon make it because but but what you'll
- 00:27:51notice is that this value tends this
- 00:27:54unit tends to tie on to this unit over
- 00:27:56here right tie on to this one even
- 00:28:00though it's a different color that's
- 00:28:01where if you blow your eye you'll kill
- 00:28:02the color a bit you'll see how it rather
- 00:28:04hangs together so that's the Lost
- 00:28:07version in a sense what I was
- 00:28:09articulating before by effect so you got
- 00:28:10to get the full impact of this thing you
- 00:28:12got to find out what's your lightest
- 00:28:13light and darkest dark the sharpest Edge
- 00:28:15will do to make that happen and then you
- 00:28:17got to get that to this and then you got
- 00:28:19to tune them to each other so that's the
- 00:28:22effect relationships and then that so
- 00:28:24that's what we call the found and then
- 00:28:26you're also and that's the very much a
- 00:28:28key to why you even talk about the lost
- 00:28:30and found stuff it's not a gimmick or a
- 00:28:31trick it's very much a way of
- 00:28:33establishing your values and this in our
- 00:28:36case we've established the values based
- 00:28:38on on effects these disturbances as meld
- 00:28:41would call them so that's what I've done
- 00:28:44going through all this whole area down
- 00:28:45here let's see if there's anything else
- 00:28:46um well the sergeant one um this is you
- 00:28:50know you can discuss this and when
- 00:28:52you're doing an imagin of pen it might
- 00:28:53be wise to but you can discuss this very
- 00:28:55as a very very simply as a
- 00:28:59big you the way you want to think of
- 00:29:01this is this gr big it's middle tone
- 00:29:03it's a middl tone to dark picture right
- 00:29:05I that's a my way of talking I'm saying
- 00:29:07it's a middl tone picture but it's
- 00:29:08passed passed halfway to toward the
- 00:29:10darks a little bit despite this big
- 00:29:12blast of light but you can see that this
- 00:29:14is a describe describing this you'd say
- 00:29:16this big middle tone here is is tone
- 00:29:18number one the darkest darkest this
- 00:29:21value through here spotting and spotting
- 00:29:23and spotting up a bit again maybe maybe
- 00:29:27it affected that's what you call an
- 00:29:28effective dark but to the dark through
- 00:29:31here and then you'd say well there are
- 00:29:32dark middle tones there right the dark
- 00:29:35the whole dark middl tone World which is
- 00:29:37the guitars and other things that's the
- 00:29:39dark middl tone
- 00:29:41world uh perhaps and at the other end
- 00:29:44you have the lightest lights and you can
- 00:29:46see that they're breaking out you know
- 00:29:49clicke Clickety clicke you know all the
- 00:29:52way through this area and so that's the
- 00:29:54when you have a dark field like that of
- 00:29:56values you see the lights are going to
- 00:29:58be the ones that are uniquely spotting
- 00:30:00up now that's how you can understand
- 00:30:02your picture conceptually your value
- 00:30:04scheme you'd say this is a big dark
- 00:30:08middl tone picture half half tone
- 00:30:10picture uh very powerfully showing darks
- 00:30:13right through the whole field toward the
- 00:30:15middle and Powerful lights uh going in
- 00:30:18and out of the dark Mass itself and just
- 00:30:20that's that could be a wholesale
- 00:30:22description you could almost describe
- 00:30:23this as as a three value system but
- 00:30:26certainly within four and five and that
- 00:30:27say way of talking now as I said before
- 00:30:29in every painting every you know just by
- 00:30:32having it a value move from dark to
- 00:30:34middl tone to light to whatever you know
- 00:30:36there's a 100 values in there so we
- 00:30:38don't mean this in a simple way um so
- 00:30:42but that's that was fun I I thought it
- 00:30:44might be amusing to look at this other
- 00:30:46one this one side by side with this one
- 00:30:47of my studio again hey John I hope
- 00:30:50you're watching these but you can see
- 00:30:53that this picture here is a is a
- 00:30:55basically dark picture right so these
- 00:30:58lights spot up as you know they're sort
- 00:31:01of events in this big dark to middl tone
- 00:31:03picture but against the light areas you
- 00:31:05can see the darks also spot up so we're
- 00:31:08talking about the darkest darks but you
- 00:31:10can see You' say this is your darkest
- 00:31:11dark you can see them in different areas
- 00:31:13you can see this is step down and lots
- 00:31:15of these other areas is step down from
- 00:31:16these darks and then you can see there's
- 00:31:18a large um well there's there's flecking
- 00:31:22powerful lights flecking flecking all
- 00:31:24over the place and there's this other
- 00:31:25Middleton that just seems to sit right
- 00:31:27through the whole painting as well
- 00:31:30now when you're do when you're analyzing
- 00:31:32a picture it's it's it's useful to
- 00:31:35actually do little scribbles and that's
- 00:31:37one of my videos talks about uh value
- 00:31:40spotting and how you think about
- 00:31:43values I think I only break it down into
- 00:31:45three values because for most pictures
- 00:31:47you can that's that will give you
- 00:31:49management of most of what you're going
- 00:31:50to be dealing with I've shown you other
- 00:31:53ones where we talk about the values of
- 00:31:55um the Benson paintings um the Birds
- 00:31:58outdoors and stuff like
- 00:32:00that so I hope this is coming across
- 00:32:03it's just more of the same here I don't
- 00:32:04even know that I need to say much the um
- 00:32:08one of the things that's just comes up
- 00:32:10in composition is this idea of
- 00:32:11interchange the whole half top half of
- 00:32:13this picture being middl tone to light
- 00:32:15the whole bottom half being dark you can
- 00:32:17see how the bottom half features lights
- 00:32:20not even Bright Lights could be could be
- 00:32:22middle ton it feature but this Zone all
- 00:32:24through the middle here you can see
- 00:32:26features the lights really nicely it
- 00:32:27also features the dark so it makes a
- 00:32:29very strong area of interest of course
- 00:32:32this is also interesting so but
- 00:32:34nevertheless you you're you're you're
- 00:32:36seeing how values work to create
- 00:32:37interest the lower the contrast the less
- 00:32:40the interest to the eye the less
- 00:32:41disturbance as meld would say so there's
- 00:32:44a significant disturbance this this
- 00:32:47these guys down here this is all very
- 00:32:49significant disturbance by contrast and
- 00:32:52your job as I said before is to say
- 00:32:54decide what your lightest light is is it
- 00:32:56this so and it I said if you look at
- 00:32:58that while you're looking at this while
- 00:32:59you're looking at this while you're
- 00:33:00looking at all the other lights in the
- 00:33:02room you'll be able to it it should come
- 00:33:04to you that there is a declension you
- 00:33:06know from there to here to event to
- 00:33:09maybe here to maybe down to these
- 00:33:10eventually maybe this one too this is
- 00:33:12one of those places where that may be
- 00:33:14one of the lightest lights but it
- 00:33:16remains to be determined U uh partially
- 00:33:20because you want to get it into a
- 00:33:22context and which is that later note
- 00:33:24that it's sitting in here it's that
- 00:33:25would appear to be sort of the same note
- 00:33:27maybe Lighter dark maybe lighter at the
- 00:33:30top but this is this one is sitting
- 00:33:32looking brilliant because it's sitting
- 00:33:34in a dark pool this is sitting in a very
- 00:33:35midtone
- 00:33:37pool but um yeah so you can see that
- 00:33:42even in a light midtone world that I
- 00:33:45mean a midtone true midtone this
- 00:33:46probably is the midtone mid middle darks
- 00:33:49that aren't black darks will make
- 00:33:51Silhouettes and um this is you could say
- 00:33:53this is a composition problem but it's
- 00:33:55all values problem and the the value and
- 00:33:58you know the way the way values work in
- 00:34:00a distribution across the page is the
- 00:34:02very interest of a picture and this is a
- 00:34:05rather a fun thing to look like just in
- 00:34:06the
- 00:34:08abstract just as pattern just as just as
- 00:34:11phenomena dancing around in a
- 00:34:13picture um
- 00:34:16so
- 00:34:17yeah I'm going to recommend also that
- 00:34:20you always see things in sets um if you
- 00:34:22have a really Inky black like this one
- 00:34:25allow yourself to back off from the pain
- 00:34:27taking the painting as a whole and just
- 00:34:29notice what other parts tend to seem to
- 00:34:33want to participate very specifically
- 00:34:35with the darkest dark and you'd say the
- 00:34:38same thing with these lightest lights
- 00:34:39they participate but you'll say you'll
- 00:34:41be able to see better whether they're of
- 00:34:42the same value if they look like if they
- 00:34:44look like oh that that's the group of
- 00:34:46the darks you'll be able to make a
- 00:34:47better assessment about them now you
- 00:34:49might still say well this doesn't still
- 00:34:51appear and you'll still work it out
- 00:34:52whether that's really darker or just
- 00:34:54appears dark than this etc etc but
- 00:34:57that's in the working out as you do
- 00:34:59other
- 00:35:00things all right I think I have uh I
- 00:35:03want to go back and I'm not sure if I
- 00:35:04can remember why I want to go back to
- 00:35:07this
- 00:35:09one um I wonder if I can do a reasonable
- 00:35:12review that that really largely covers
- 00:35:15oh I I know what I didn't discuss and
- 00:35:16that's why I'm here that whole issue of
- 00:35:19values uh includes the question of of
- 00:35:22value
- 00:35:23movements so when you're trying to get
- 00:35:27this value right to this you're using
- 00:35:29and that getting that and you use that
- 00:35:31edge and get all those things you're
- 00:35:32trying to produce a light effect so
- 00:35:34light effect is a measure of value
- 00:35:37quality and you can only do these things
- 00:35:39in the world of relationships right we
- 00:35:42can't match some of these notes on our
- 00:35:46canvas uh or our our painting So edges
- 00:35:49like in a bright room this some part of
- 00:35:51this hit being hit by the
- 00:35:53daylight uh is going to be stronger than
- 00:35:55the weight of the paper can ever be so
- 00:35:57you know we're living in a false range
- 00:35:59so we say we produce the very best we
- 00:36:01can this light
- 00:36:03effect and but then the rest of the
- 00:36:06world is a problem of going around and
- 00:36:08find adjusting other light effects other
- 00:36:10light effects other light effects to
- 00:36:12find out what the whole system is going
- 00:36:13to look like you say What's My Darkest
- 00:36:15dark it's my lightest light but included
- 00:36:17so we're talking about light effects uh
- 00:36:20and we're talking about again we're
- 00:36:21talking about lostness right you can see
- 00:36:23that well let's see if I can find a spot
- 00:36:25for you we have we have losses into the
- 00:36:27background
- 00:36:28uh we sort of I thought maybe I'd get it
- 00:36:30off of this foot here having this dark
- 00:36:32become part of that Etc uh we don't do
- 00:36:36we have a spot um no I don't this one
- 00:36:39actually sort of doesn't well so but
- 00:36:41what I wanted to talk about though is is
- 00:36:43is value movement and so that's so you
- 00:36:46have a value going from such and such a
- 00:36:48light to such and such a dark at its
- 00:36:50darkest and you can see that's getting
- 00:36:52it goes to its lightest right here and
- 00:36:54goes moving this is the famous fumado
- 00:36:56that's one of the disc discussions about
- 00:36:58midtones Leonardo D Vinci talks about it
- 00:37:01but he talks about making it smoke likee
- 00:37:03and you can see it means it's smooth it
- 00:37:05has no texture but you can see here that
- 00:37:07is moves from a a light light midtone to
- 00:37:10a lighter one and so what do you see
- 00:37:13here well you see that Big Arc of form
- 00:37:15you see form and when you see value
- 00:37:17movement going from lighter to darker it
- 00:37:19will always suggest something like
- 00:37:22form or it will suggest like on this
- 00:37:24spot here it will simply suggest a weak
- 00:37:27weing of the
- 00:37:28tone and so a weakening of the tone can
- 00:37:31happen you see it happening these
- 00:37:32penumbra things this is your darkest
- 00:37:34dark but you can see it gets lighter and
- 00:37:36lighter and lighter and lighter and you
- 00:37:38can use the strategy of going out and
- 00:37:40finding out where you can last see a
- 00:37:41sort of an event that's a pretty weak
- 00:37:43one but it's probably stronger than all
- 00:37:45the other ones so you go out there and
- 00:37:46you say let's make that little event
- 00:37:48that contrast right there good make this
- 00:37:50one right and now you know where you're
- 00:37:52starting from now assuming you got your
- 00:37:53darkest dark as a choice you know you
- 00:37:55make that you say let's work with this
- 00:37:57darkest dark we have this midtone over
- 00:37:59here that we presumably have right in
- 00:38:01the sense of the world of floating notes
- 00:38:03if this is white white white here then
- 00:38:05this is the half tone this is dark well
- 00:38:07you at any rate you just want to watch
- 00:38:09again by the way you can watch all three
- 00:38:10of these at once and you can actually
- 00:38:13get to know them this is where memory
- 00:38:15really does help get to know them
- 00:38:18picture them try to see them well enough
- 00:38:20so that you'll recognize them when when
- 00:38:23you put them onto your
- 00:38:24canvas but you'll get those three
- 00:38:28uh notes right in relation to each other
- 00:38:31uh but once that's set up then you'll
- 00:38:34know what value this is and then you say
- 00:38:35okay now that weak effect I've got to
- 00:38:37get that there and then I got to change
- 00:38:39this darker and darker darker and this
- 00:38:40has got to produce this effect of this
- 00:38:41joint here these are just strategies for
- 00:38:43making values
- 00:38:45okay there are a lot of places the
- 00:38:47shadow line you know is almost
- 00:38:50imperceptible here it's very powerfully
- 00:38:52expressed here so these are very sudden
- 00:38:54and abrupt shifts and these are almost
- 00:38:58imperceptible ones but there is a point
- 00:39:00and you could actually cast a shadow
- 00:39:01from here down and You' actually see you
- 00:39:03could actually see the
- 00:39:05exact um angle of the
- 00:39:08light um and uh you can find that not
- 00:39:12just the angle but the actual point at
- 00:39:14which the G Leonardo and that whole
- 00:39:17discussion is about values that is the
- 00:39:18shadow line Begins the point Beyond
- 00:39:20which no light gets none of the original
- 00:39:22Source this the this the main source
- 00:39:25gets
- 00:39:26in so so I wonder if there's anything
- 00:39:28else I can say to you now these areas
- 00:39:30that are busy like this if you go in
- 00:39:31there and start drawing these things now
- 00:39:33you can you should draw this to this
- 00:39:36that say you should make this Edge
- 00:39:38because you're trying to find the value
- 00:39:39of this area okay that's a big deal and
- 00:39:42this value contrast is constantly being
- 00:39:44related to this value contrast or to
- 00:39:47this value contrast or to all the other
- 00:39:49value contrasts in the area but if
- 00:39:51you're a painter like Velasquez you're
- 00:39:53thinking value blobs and that's quite a
- 00:39:56huge thing painting as what what hail
- 00:39:58said by the spot rather than by outlines
- 00:40:01so your first job will be to set this
- 00:40:03value up put the blob out there and have
- 00:40:05a look at it to this one and we'll worry
- 00:40:07about shapes in the minute okay we'll
- 00:40:09worry about you know where we're going
- 00:40:10to locate something you know some some
- 00:40:12hard reader or something like this and I
- 00:40:15do pursue these value units on the basis
- 00:40:17of their most powerful effects um in
- 00:40:20other words you this is going to be
- 00:40:22significant what this does when it meets
- 00:40:24this value but I tend to take the top
- 00:40:26guys and get them working with each
- 00:40:28other as as a as as the strongest sets I
- 00:40:31try to get stuff like this or this or
- 00:40:34even that one relatively or this one I
- 00:40:36try to get that whole group of things
- 00:40:38leading the way and then the Lesser ones
- 00:40:41and remember this is just a value
- 00:40:42assessment process remember you're in a
- 00:40:44search for the values on and that's all
- 00:40:46we're talking about today a search for
- 00:40:48the values in a in a in a painting and
- 00:40:52so the the second thing that goes with
- 00:40:54that of course I've mentioned that it
- 00:40:55has to all be looked on as flat if you
- 00:40:57see a person there all you you'll go
- 00:40:59into a different world you you'll
- 00:41:01complexify you get past what did Bobby
- 00:41:03Jones the gulfer he said when I think
- 00:41:05about three things that make a bad shot
- 00:41:07and he went down from two makes a better
- 00:41:09one but think about one thing and so if
- 00:41:11we're talking talking values values is
- 00:41:13one thing so when you're in the values
- 00:41:15World minimally make sure you know how
- 00:41:18to play these strategies and think about
- 00:41:20the one thing but so you're thinking of
- 00:41:22the world as flat but you're also
- 00:41:24thinking of it as you know just 2D and
- 00:41:26no real ISM no even though I say form
- 00:41:29Concepts there may be a form movement
- 00:41:30here it has to look like that but we're
- 00:41:32not trying to understand the breast or
- 00:41:34the wing the span of the wing or the
- 00:41:37form of the leg we're not trying to
- 00:41:39understand that or trying to express one
- 00:41:40out of our head the idea of a leg form
- 00:41:43we're just noticing whether or not it's
- 00:41:45looking like that as we do our value
- 00:41:47movement and value relationship stuff
- 00:41:49you know so the gradations have to right
- 00:41:51if if they're good it'll look like a leg
- 00:41:53if it does if they aren't good it won't
- 00:41:56but so what I'm saying do you don't you
- 00:41:57see is that this world is now one of the
- 00:41:59pure abstraction called values so well
- 00:42:02you have to be flat so that's one of the
- 00:42:04aspects of it and the other one is that
- 00:42:05you have to be out of your mind so it's
- 00:42:08just values what they do floating in
- 00:42:11relation to each other where they're
- 00:42:12lost and found and when they're found
- 00:42:16how how whether that group of found
- 00:42:20things is rightly regulated in relation
- 00:42:22to each other and of course it goes all
- 00:42:24the way through to the weaker like you
- 00:42:25have some very weak areas like this we
- 00:42:28have contrasts like this that are very
- 00:42:29very weak uh those things eventually
- 00:42:32will all have to be right to other each
- 00:42:33other as well but they don't set the
- 00:42:34table these Great Value this is the
- 00:42:37conversation you're going to get with
- 00:42:38Sergeant this great value here this
- 00:42:40great value this great light here this
- 00:42:43great value here and this great value
- 00:42:45here is set the table for this
- 00:42:46painting and it may be that you find
- 00:42:50more or less to be the case but it does
- 00:42:54you could argue that this is a three
- 00:42:56value system that just this value here
- 00:42:58and this one are one the lights are two
- 00:43:00and the darks are three but of course
- 00:43:03the darks as you can see are two there
- 00:43:04are two in themselves but they're so
- 00:43:06close to each other that you would might
- 00:43:07try to say let's think about those even
- 00:43:09though you make them slightly different
- 00:43:12you let's think about those as a unit
- 00:43:13for a while you may you'll find probably
- 00:43:17that this that this value here and this
- 00:43:19value here are all part of a different
- 00:43:20unit that's what I'm suggesting is where
- 00:43:23it gets to be an illusion but anyway so
- 00:43:25this whole thing winds up being its own
- 00:43:26unit but it's possible that this one and
- 00:43:29this one are the same so what is it
- 00:43:31bright light value two value three and
- 00:43:35value four which have may have its
- 00:43:37variations in it and so that's the
- 00:43:40conversation that has to do with the
- 00:43:42most significant values and it's all
- 00:43:43it's always about that doing that but if
- 00:43:46you could do those things if you can
- 00:43:47float the notes and get two or three of
- 00:43:49them in your eye at once when and and
- 00:43:52and let yourself see who's who's lighter
- 00:43:54who's not lighter you know and if it's
- 00:43:55not clear it's no big deal find
- 00:43:57something that is more clear you know um
- 00:44:00or find a different
- 00:44:03relationship that's more useful to
- 00:44:06you so
- 00:44:08yeah
- 00:44:10okay Mr Producer I think that might be
- 00:44:13it I did have fun U messing with these
- 00:44:17things especially with Mr gaml here I
- 00:44:20hope he would have
- 00:44:21approved by the way this is a nice
- 00:44:23example of how spotting Works see this
- 00:44:25is a light area and you see the spots on
- 00:44:27it that's just the game this this
- 00:44:29picture you could argue was a dark
- 00:44:31picture and these are the light spots on
- 00:44:33it and you know it's hugely how much
- 00:44:35entertainment value you get out of these
- 00:44:37things this is why I say this is so much
- 00:44:39more like musical notes you know
- 00:44:42that it's the size and distribution of
- 00:44:45the notes you know it's the you know
- 00:44:47it's the impact what they're doing
- 00:44:49though in a in a set that begins to
- 00:44:53suggest this
- 00:44:54idea you anyway by the way there I don't
- 00:44:57know if I did it already but there's
- 00:44:58middletone you can see going right
- 00:44:59through here Syria is dark powering
- 00:45:01through here Middleton showing up in
- 00:45:02lots of places this is a very nice
- 00:45:04simple value construction it's very easy
- 00:45:06to look at would have made would have
- 00:45:08made a nice painted uh portrait all
- 00:45:12right Mr gamble thank you very much for
- 00:45:13all you've done for all of us on my
- 00:45:16behalf in
- 00:45:18particular
- 00:45:20um uh I'm sure I've forgotten something
- 00:45:22but that's the way it goes I thought of
- 00:45:23all sorts of things at 3:00 in the
- 00:45:25morning last night when I was trying to
- 00:45:26stay asle
- 00:45:28but I think that covers it it's just all
- 00:45:30very practical and this is nothing but
- 00:45:31an an attempt to show you how we think
- 00:45:34about values in a practical way and
- 00:45:35hopefully be something that beginners
- 00:45:37can apply uh for their own
- 00:45:41um benefit going forward it is very
- 00:45:43simple our world does have to be
- 00:45:45analyzed in in terms of pure visual
- 00:45:49content and this is there's nothing more
- 00:45:51clear more clear or more useful than
- 00:45:53knowing what your darkest dark and your
- 00:45:55lightest lights are and how to manage
- 00:45:57the relationships of all the passages
- 00:45:59from the greater units in relation to
- 00:46:01the greater units to each other to the
- 00:46:04all the minor play and just keep
- 00:46:08remembering brakman said this to this
- 00:46:10and that to that and you're
- 00:46:12fine okay Chompers M Mr Chompers or I
- 00:46:16don't know if it's a m Chompers thank
- 00:46:19you for that um I'm sorry I didn't
- 00:46:21address the question of books much
- 00:46:23better but I did do it online so if you
- 00:46:24want to look for the comments um
- 00:46:28everybody talks about values one way and
- 00:46:29another um I'm quite sure Leonardo does
- 00:46:32he talks about values in the in in Era
- 00:46:35perspective in the distance the values
- 00:46:37get closer to each other so these are
- 00:46:39factual things about the visual world of
- 00:46:42landscape or something like that so
- 00:46:44you'll find plenty of that conversation
- 00:46:46out there take it all in take it all in
- 00:46:49but when you're when you're an eyeball
- 00:46:51when you're take that's one of the
- 00:46:52values of being an impressionist eyeball
- 00:46:54for a while is that you're all you're
- 00:46:56doing is collating data and values is
- 00:46:59you could say data number
- 00:47:00one all right I guess that'll do it guys
- 00:47:04see you in the next one hope you have a
- 00:47:05great painting week uh don't forget to
- 00:47:07subscribe share all that stuff uh like
- 00:47:11um
- 00:47:14yeah what if why do half of those words
- 00:47:16Escape me Mr
- 00:47:18Producer as I said we are going we're
- 00:47:20getting now I think we're up to maybe 6
- 00:47:228 10 maybe eight as many as 10 people
