Value Study 5x7 $50.00

 In relating to art, the term value refers to the degree of lightness or darkness of a color. Any color can have any number of values according to the impact of the light source and surrounding colors. Two different colors can be the same value, even though they differ in hue (color). One way an artist can improve his/her ability to see and depict values is by using a gray scale to capture an image. This forces the artist to focus on value of objects rather than local color. These studies, although in shades of gray, can be captivating and are preferred by many for the same reason that many people prefer black and white photography. This 5x7 value study of a distant mountain range is certainly recognizable, yet the gray scale is used. The painting has an unique look and has always been a favorite. ...super gift for someone.
