Values in painting

Values in drawing or painting are more important than colors. Objects get lighter as they go into the background. An object in the foreground is always stronger than an object in the background. A good way to learn values is to paint in two colors, raw umber and white for example or grey and white. Add white as you go deeper into the background. This produces a value change. Values create depth and give the work a more three dimensional look.
