Tip #22

11/9/2020

In an effort to give shapes a tridimensional look, I try to always ensure that each object (including mountains and grasses, everything) has a dark tone, a middle value and some highlights. And that's where knowing precisely where the light comes from is essential in order to position these 3 tonalities. I use to literally stick a little piece of paper with a sun or an arrow on it not to never forget where the light came from and to make sure I darn well showed that. So each bush, pole, rock will have at least 3 tones. Try it, it's a good exercise in mixing paint if nothing else.
