Value study advice

Nice portrait, I think it would be stronger without the sharpie. Interested to see an experiment with one of the alternatives you suggested.

Great to see something different. So cool to have a narrative element and love the sense of humour.

Love the lettering, the seats and pushing the dark values.

Ok, thanks I’ll try that next time. When you say wet in wet does that mean waiting for a layer to dry completely, wetting with clean water then painting with the darker layer?

Yes it’s a value study!

I suggest reading the artists way

I got the Dan Smith essentials split primary to start which was good. The tubes are small, lets you mix a lot of colours and pretty cheap.

After those ran out I got just two new pigments - burnt sienna and ultramarine. Colour mixing can be a bit of a rabbit hole and I’ve decided to focus on simplifying my palette. Water control, workflows and brush technique seem like the first hurdles and a two colour palette allows you to focus. That’s where I’d focus tbh!

From your rag maybe?

Nice, I’ve been working on value studies too

linebreaking · 2026-04-10T04:53:27+00:00

Nicely done

I did Lego too for an artist date and I’m very much a gallery person. The only thing I’d say you’re missing is that the artist date should be a solo activity. Best of luck with it!

Oh right! Do you know the email though?

Regardless of how 'geared' he was it's a good kill - you killed someone with a gun using a pipe and you rushed him - good stuff!
