In this lesson I'm going through and putting in the light values in a painting. After this we start adding multiple values to make the painting look more realistic, but this step is essential to understanding the shapes of our painting.
Please follow along with me and post your progress here.

Not liking my background and coat. Looks muddy but I guess I can fix this later. And he looks sulky, lol
I dont know if its just me, but I see purple/crimson in his face in the photo, not the mustard. And thats from the image on my screen and what was printed.
I corrected the shapes overlaying on the pc, or should I not be so literal with what I see? Also, do you keep that half tone dark in the concave of the cheek in the light plane so that you can maintain its shape visibile while knowing its going to fall into the dark family ultimately?
Here's where I continued from the grid drawings in previous weeks. Think I went a little too light on the average of the skin in comparison but as I've continued on, I darkened the mix slightly. Let me know what you think
The harsh edge on the cheek is so tempting to blend out but I'm sticking rigidly to the instruction (which is usually hard for me). Even though it's late, I'm going to watch the next lesson to see if the 2nd layer needs to be done while the 1st layer is still wet.
Overall, I think its okay. Im not sure about the shadow shape of his cheek down to his chin. Should i make it less simple or is it good enough to move forward?
Ththink this looked awful but I trusted the process and it worked out I think
Ethan with the average light added; beginning ear correction. Some of my mixed oils have formed a slight skin even though they are in capped containers similar to yours...one disadvantage I guess of totally premixed colors used over extended time (have grandchildren and xmas duties keeping me from my class).
