In the first week, we tackle one of the broadest fundamentals - one that you'll be using every time you put down a brushstroke: value! We learn a system of 5 values (with a hidden 6th value) that you can use on every single painting you'll ever do. Along the way, we learn how to simplify the many values you'll encounter in your reference material down to digestible and simple-to-understand groups. These principles are applied to humans/characters, as well as backgrounds and environments.
