432-The Power of Value: A Black & White Workshop

Value is everything—before color, there’s light and dark. In this workshop, we’ll work in black and white media to hone your ability to build strong compositions, define form, and bring depth to your work through powerful value contrasts. Through mini exercises and live demonstrations, you’ll learn how to see value more clearly, avoid muddy midtones, and create striking, confident drawings with just a few tools. Perfect for all levels!
