Many artists believe that color is the most challenging part of painting, but often, the real issue lies in the composition and value structure. A painting with strong shapes and values will succeed even if the colors are less than perfect. Value studies—not just color—can transform your approach to painting and drawing. When it comes to creating compelling and dynamic artwork, understanding the interplay of light and shadow is essential.
