It may be a tonal “sketch” but it sure reminds me of Ansel Adams work in black & white photography. He too always worked for a full range of values and used the highlights and deep darks to create drama-definitely not easy when all you have to work with are light sensitive films and papers and pans of various chemicals. Thank you so very much for all of these educational videos that you make. It is very helpful to see how all of the information I have been reading actually works in “real life!”

Adams was a master of tonal presentation and it really does help sometimes to take colour out of the equation.

Philosophical extension: we are always seeking more knowledge through more and more academic degrees on the assumption that the more we "know" the more successful we'll be. But do we also realize, as suggested by this art lesson, that the things we "know" can also be quite limiting and thereby misguide us? Are the White Cliffs of Dover actually white? No. Does knowledge = success? No. Learn to paint...learn to live.

@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442
2 жыл бұрын
Not all of them - I tend to do it when there are some difficult tonal contrasts to identify/resolve. Sometimes the values are easy to identify, but in most cases I'll make a quick sketch for composition, colours, tones. whether you are making a sketch or not, its essential to identify your lightest lights and darkest darks in every painting, and where you can connect similar tonal values to each other.

Thanks Olli for this. When I attempted, it felt a bit like working in the dark tho. Without a clear photo download and your painting at an angle it was really hard to follow the tonal changes in the cliffs. Would have been really helpful to show us the sketch you made in the beginning or a way to take a photo of either that or the inspiration photo itself. But a great subject that I am trying to work on. A video on your sketch making would also be fabulous. Do you try to organize your values in some way to tie them together into larger shapes or? Thank so much teaching!
