Reverse value drawing
- 2. Reverse value isdrawing with light or white mediums on dark backgrounds.
- 3. Most of usare used to drawing with dark material on white or lightly colored paper. However, in reverse value, you draw with white/light material on black paper and it does require some getting used to.
- 10. We are so used to adding dark values and leaving the lighter values. When we reverse this thinking by drawing with white or light material on black paper, our process is the opposite. Now, we must train our minds to deal with the lighter values and leave the darker values to the tone of the surface.

- 17. Get my approval to begin on black paper. The DEADLINE to finish this WILL BE NEXT FRIDAY. (If I have to adjust it, I will). IF YOU FINISH ONE REVERSE VALUE BEFORE NEXT FRIDAY, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO ANOTHER REVERSE VALUE UNTIL THE DEADLINE…I WILL BE NOTING WHO FINISHES WHEN. TAKE YOUR TIME AND APPLY YOURSELF! USE OF CLASSTIME WILL BE PART OFYOUR GRADE.
