Specialism: Year 7 & 8 Painting with tones and using a light source

This week we have been learning to paint with tones

we were given one colour, black and white

we had to mix a light and dark tone of our colour

 and apply this to our picture

we also used fine detail brushes to help develop our skills

we mixed a light and dark tone

then our teacher showed us how to apply tones to a picture using a light source

we were to draw an arrow to show where the light was coming from and to help us understand how the light would behave

these are some of our outcomes

tones of green

yellow

we learned how to make objects seem more real with a light source and by using tones- we can apply this technique to our designs that we will print
