The Coolest of the Cool Look for the Lemon Tree…

Value is the way that you use shading and other techniques in order to create a way to accent an artwork. In this image value contrast is shown from the high dark parts of the image to the very white parts. This creates a contrast and can help define an image and break of sections that the artist is trying to show. When looking at the woman on the left you can tell that the light source on her face is quite high as compared the the man on her left. This vast white space breaks up the darkness in the image and can help give the characters life. When looking at the woman on the lefts hair you can see depth and definition when a black line is placed next to a white line. Using contrast is very effective when you are trying to give expression to your artwork as shown in this image.
