Today

• The third batch of my value studies

• color vs. black and white

• I went a step further, and for each sketch, I noted a value and a rank on the color chart for all light-shadow color pairs. 

• Interestingly, there is a sweet spot of a difference of 14 in rank between the color of light and shadow on a surface. Is this some magic number for neocolors? 

Materials

• Neocolors 2

Paper/Sketchbook
