All I had to work with as a child growing up is graphite pencil and paper if I could find it. We were quite poor in fact. But I learned how to do all with the one color of graphite and going by values instead of color at a very young age. I later had crayons but as pretty as the colors were, none were dark enough to do the job. So out came my trusty pencils. I do best working without color actually. It can throw me off. It was years for me to get used to using color. I use one green (PG7) but only for mixing. One of the best mixers I have. My darkest value blacks come from PG7 and Perm Alizarin Crimson. I can warm it or cool it easily. I don't use the real Alizarin pigment.

Thank you for sharing Renee! I remember the feeling "doesn't get dark enough". When I studied at art school, I only had HB and could not understand why it's always pale grey no matter how much cross hatching I do. In my last year at school my mum got me a 4B, this was an eye opener! I still have my final piece of work from school that I did with that pencil ☺️ In regards to Alizarin, I use Perm. too, plain Alizarin is a fugitive, although gorgeous pigment! I never could believe how colour can just disappear until I saw a mostly grey watercolor painting 😭

Hiya Nina, Thanks very much for another great tutorial. The values were the hardest thing for me to understand and apply when I first started on my art journey, especially translating colour into value scales, as you mentioned with the Cadmium Yellow and Ultramarine Blue analogy. It's vitaly important as you pointed out and the only way to really understand it is by practicing. It's well worth the effort and a well drawn/painted value study can be a work of art I'm itself. Take care Nina, love from England.x

Thank you David! Yes you are so right, values and colour harmony either make or break your painting. You can argue many things but these two an absolute core...and you are right with "art on its own", Alvaro is a living proof to it 😉

Thank you! I know it's only a 10m video, but every point is asking for "practice and thinking" pretty much on repeat :) sometimes I paint for weeks and then get a light bulb moment...it usually can be summarised in one word or sentence...at the same time so much practice and thinking went into it...I love these moments, they are very satisfying ☺️ but I do believe these things need to be remembered with "muscle memory" ...there is never enough time for analytics when paint

Hi Nina the painting is amazing! So you do a value study for every painting? I'm not to the point of doing finish paintings yet (Hahahaha)!!! How do you know what to remove and what to put in??? Lastly, when you paint outside do you still do a value study? Thank you very much for your kindness!👍👍👍
@nvfineartstudio72962 жыл бұрын
Hi Marvin, re Value Study, not so much now, only if I'm unsure about the composition. With practice you strat seeing things in values and tones instead of colours. In re removing/adding things: I always try to simplify, if I squint my eyes and I don't see it... It's gone 😄 in terms of adding/removing big things...such as adding one more level to a building, I always do it for a better composition, just experience I suppose. In re outside: no, no time for this, things chang too fast, but in reality it would be even more beneficial 😊

Hi Nina. This is very informative and thoughtful. I wonder why it is so important to “always connect your middle values”? Any insight you could share? Or a video where you explain why it is so important? Thank you. This is beautiful.
@nvfineartstudio7296 Жыл бұрын
Glad it was helpful! And thank you for the suggestion, will definitely do. But in short: middle value shape is what MAKES your painting. It's is the geometry of composition. If you have a boat on the left, a person in the center, another boat on the right, etc., It will all read as separate pieces, very "bits and pieces", a gathering of small objects. But for a painting to work and read well from far away it needs to be unified, and you also need a "road" for the viewer eye to travel through.
@Neorhim Жыл бұрын
Hi again Nina. Thank you for your kind answer. I think that what is confusing me is that when you start doing your middle values in this video, you start with the windows to the left which are all separate parts, it seems to me that these windows are part of the third wash (dark values). I heard you say that you don’t differentiate the 2D and 3D wash precisely as they often merge together, and I think that is why you can start with these windows. In a way it does not make any difference for you: you don’t feel you have to wait to paint them. But according to the explanation, am I wrong to consider that the real unifying part of this painting, the big connected middle-values-shape, the “real” 2d wash in a way, “appear” at 9:18? Or am I just confused? Haha
@nvfineartstudio7296 Жыл бұрын
Yes, that's right: 9.18 - the big middle value shape starts from the top left shadow on the building, connected to the trees above the roof, then to the background and the shadows on the building on the right, through the trees on the right and finally the shadow on the ground - this is the geometry of the painting. The windows are "details", these little things can be connected or left alone. The reason I painted them first is to paint the shadows over them. It softened the edges a little. If you paint them wet on wet, the edges sometimes too blurry, and wet on dry obviously gives you sharp edges, which is not ideal for details in shadow.
@Neorhim Жыл бұрын
Thank you very much for your generous answers Nina it is very appreciated. I tried to paint this image yesterday and it is essentially a fail. But at least I can point out some of my main mistakes. My first wash was too powerful. I use Schmincke paints and I feel it does not fade so much when it comes to dry, it is indeed very pigmented. I always fall in this trap. Because of this too intense wash I had a hard time with the contrasts and I ended up overworking some parts to get them darker. The result feel “gouachish”. And finally, and not the least, I have to admit I don’t know how to mix greys and neutral tints properly: they always end up to vibrant, too coloured. If you have any tutorial on it I definitely would be happy to look at it as greys ad neutral tints seem to be the key to a more realistic rendering. Is it a complete disaster? For some parts yes, but we still see what it is haha! I consider being part of your patreon but I honestly doubt to have the level yet: I still have a lot to learn from your free videos.

Hi Nina. Do you have any tutorial about mixing greys and neutral tints? It seems to be the key to realism with the values. I have seen you talking about it a bit in your tutorial about your palette but I,felt you had much more to say about it, where and how you use each nuance of grey and also where and how to use cooler and warmer tone. This is a huge topic and I’m sure you could thoughtfully (and masterfully) discuss about it (or do you talk about it in depth in your Patreon?)

Yes, but it's quite large and has too many wells (24). Now, I use it mostly for my large scale paintings for art shows. Unfortunately it doesn't feet on my new tablet where I record videos. But, it's a great palette, never stains even if I use staining colours such as Phthalo blue.

When you did value study of middle values, did u also do darks at same time? Windows look dark to me. Thx
@nvfineartstudio72962 жыл бұрын
Hi Diana, When you do your middle value shape on the value study, it includes darks as well. You just paint them on top of the middle value. I have a tutorial showing this method, it's called "Watercolor City Tutorial - watercolor tips on values". In re to the windows, start at value 6 and vary to 9, so they are both middle and dark. Honestly, I don't like separating too much middle and dark wash, but it's just my style. I get a better variety of edges and cleaner darks this way. I would definitely recommend separating middle and dark wash, if you only recently started with watercolors. Hope this helps. 👍
