The Value Card
The Value Card
Whether you’re a beginner or experienced oil painter, the Value Card can help you improve your value skills. You can use it to identify the values you’re seeing in life and assess the value of your mixed paint. Because it’s laminated, you can put paint directly on it and it will wipe off! It consists of 11 values total, ranging from pure white as 0 (or 0% black) to pure black as 10 (or 100% black) and all 9 steps in-between. Learn more here.
Included is a video demonstration of how I use the value card along with a lesson on practicing values. It will cover my approach to underpainting, mixing black and white paint, and painting alla prima while focusing on big shape relationships.
Dimensions: 8.5x3.5 inches.
