Values In Oil Painting


The canvas was toned with a mix of Chromatic black., Burnt umber and Prussian blue.
Using the toned canvas as a middle value I added dark’s where needed and pulled off paint with a rag to get the light values. At this point I just want to build an abstract likeness of my subject, I don’t want to fuss with details at this point, mostly its about getting the values correct.
