The Secret to Values with Mandy Theis

Описание: The Secret to Values with Mandy Theis

Join Art Publisher Eric Rhoads on Art School Live as he gives you free art instruction in Graphite painting with artist Mandy Theis.

Discover how planning your values before you ever place your pencil on paper can dramatically improve the sophistication, clarity, and impact of your drawings. In this YouTube Live drawing session, we will explore the power of value organization and how intentional planning leads to stronger, more confident results. Rather than guessing as you go, you’ll learn how to think in terms of light, shadow, and mid-tones from the very beginning.

The demonstration begins with creating a clear and effective value map, breaking the subject down into simple, readable value shapes. This process helps you establish visual hierarchy, control contrast, and avoid common drawing problems such as muddiness or over-rendering. Once the value map is established, we will execute a pencil mastercopy, using it as a learning tool to understand how master artists “key” values to create form, depth, and atmosphere.

Throughout the session, we’ll discuss how value relationships guide composition, enhance realism, and support expressive mark-making. This live demo is perfect for artists of all levels who want to strengthen their drawing fundamentals, improve shading control, and develop a more intentional, professional approach to pencil drawing.
