Check out ” LESSON #9: Shadow & Highlight ” on Teachers Pay Teachers.
LESSON #9: Shadow & Highlight (also known as ‘Painting the Black & White Egg’), shows you how to use shadow and highlight to create depth in your work.
This 8:12 minute video will walk you through the process of carefully observing a subject and translating what you see on to paper.
Includes discussion about the importance of being bold with your paints and illustrates how to transition from dark to lighter colours.
Lesson Video #5: Painting Foreground & Background
Does it make a difference if you paint the background of a painting before you paint the foreground? What if you paint the foreground first?
Experiment with Foreground & Background, as you watch and paint along with this 4 minute, 20 second video at Teachers Pay Teachers, that encourages you to look carefully at an aspect of painting you may have never before considered.
This Lesson Video presents ideas for homeschoolers, students in grades 7 & up, and teachers who are learning to paint.
Watch this FREE video on TPT and see if you might change your mind about what you can and can’t do-
“WE don’t expect ourselves to know how to play a piano without lessons, so why do we expect ourselves to know how to paint when we’ve never learned the basic techniques?
Learning to paint takes time.
You can do this!”
