Using Value in Landscape Drawing

[New Masters Academy]

In this lesson, instructor Bill Perkins will teach you how to establish a value Matrix within a landscape drawing. You will learn to create two and three value matrices; this will allow you to design a powerful composition in your drawings and expand your ability to simplify values and shapes.

This lesson belongs to the course The Beginner’s Guide to Drawing. It is a 12-week course designed to empower new students with a structured approach for learning how to draw. Join instructors Steve Huston, Chris Legaspi, Heather Lenefski, Bill Perkins, and Mark Westermoe as you learn the fundamentals of perspective, rendering, and composition. After completing this course, you will develop a solid foundation in drawing.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.

Hi, I just wanted to ask, when it says to change the composition, does that mean we can move things around the drawing like boats people, trees?

[Robin Maurice]

Other question, if we are only allowed to use black and white, how can I render say the sea with boats and people ?
