Bring Beautiful Color Variation To Your Landscape Paintings

[@Chaotic313]

I love that you always remind us not to be a slave to the color/composition of the photo. Also, how beneficial seeing it in b&w it is. The winter sunset's sky and snow covered foreground are closer in value than they appear to me when seen in color. Great lesson!

Talking about the White House in shadow what value number would you use in those violet and blue green tones?

[@philstarke.artist]

I don’t use the value scale when determining how dark or light to make a value, I like to compare values, in other words how much darker are the blue greens than the blue violet house. But if one is the lightest and ten is the darkest the blue violet shadowed house would be four and the blue green cactus would be an eight.
