In this lesson you’ll learn about brushwork, brush economy, values, blending, and more!

Let’s keep going with our next study and continue to apply light and color expertly!

Here’s a brief introduction to the Med’s Map course!

By mastering basic shapes such as the sphere we’ll be able to draw portraits much faster later on.

Following the sphere, we dive into understanding how to render the cylinder and continue to learn the fundamentals of lights and shadows.

Moving to the cube, we'll learn about the 1-2-3 read which will help our forms pop out and appear three-dimensional.

In this lesson we’ll up the difficulty with a more complex shape: the donut! We’ll also start to see how we can apply these rendering lessons to human features.

Stepping into slightly more complex shapes, these will be crucial to understand for painting/rendering noses and similar forms.

In this lesson we cover how to shift local values for different lighting scenarios, which can be applied later on to any color or value.

You’ve unlocked a chance encounter!

Blending and Lost Edges (Painterly)

Now it’s time for your first assignment which will summarize everything we’ve covered so far about shapes, rendering, and values.

We’ll kick off our color studies by creating a red cube to master values while still practicing shapes.

We're continuing our color study with green and blue!

Now we’ll shift over to CMY (cyan, magenta, and yellow) and demonstrate how this can be used to contrast against RGB.

In this lesson we’re rendering magenta and using it as the opposite color to our green color cube.

Rendering the cube as yellow, we discover that yellow isn't always yellow! What a mystery!

It’s important to learn how to blend the different color families that are on our cubes without muddling our colors.

We’ve covered colors, now it’s time for some painting fun that will further our understanding of color relationships to one another.
