Watercolour Challenge 282: Using the Value scale to improve your paintings (Patreon)

Hi everyone, the value scale is the light to dark scale of each colour depending on how dilute it is. It's a very useful tool to bring roundness and texture to a piece. We're going to paint a plate of biscuits first in grey scale which is going to show where the light and dark needs to be used. Then you can use that to help guide your full colour painting.

You will need:

Cold pressed watercolour paper (6x8 inch)

hb pencil

soft and hard eraser

Colours I used: Ivory Black, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey,

Brushes I used: Size 6,4,2,0,
