In PAINTING ESSENTIALS - COLOR & VALUE CHARTS you'll learn:

• How to make value and color charts of my favorite limited palette of seven oil colors plus white (or your own set of colors)
• How unlimited your choices are for mixing a variety of colors from just a few tubes of paint.
• That methodically creating these charts of your colors in a string of 5 values will train your brain to assess and select the proper values for your paintings
• How to use photo editing software to check values in your photos and make better paintings by adjusting your values.
• Each color row will take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete and a full color chart will take about 90 minutes.
• In addition to showing you how to make your charts, I’ll share with you some examples of how you can immediately apply what you’ve learned when you make your next painting.
