Are You Doing it Right? The Values and Composition in Paintings. Raising Caring Respectful Ethical Children in Today's World

Twelve Plus One SOLD    © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 Using Values and looking at a painting in Black and white. Black, Gray and White?  Left or Right Flip?  by Laurie Pace   Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales. Often when I am painting, I will do two things...  The first is to reverse the photo from left to right. There I can see all issues with balance or color.  We are all one eye dominate and that controls how we see things!  You can put a photo or painting in front of the mirror or use your iphone and then edit and flip it.   See below. Flipping a painting left to right to check composition. Values are a bit harder...  Taking a photo or painting into black and white with gradients allows you to see the values and balance of a piece of work. Values are lights and darks. Can you see them? Squint at it, it will help!...
