Value and Form (4ASP25)

Taught by: Larry Keefe

Painters like to say, ‘Color gets the credit, but value does the work.’ In this Art Start, we see how differences between light and dark determine the emotional effect of a painting, and how patterns of value create the forms that give it meaning. We will work with some simple watercolor exercises to see how different kinds of shadows can create a realistic scene with minimal effort. Bring an open mind and a critical eye—that’s all you need.
