Post Brexit Chill......
A chilly start to 2021- we've enjoyed clear, bright but freezing days. Sunrise and sunsets have been stunning. Too cold for painting outside but a great time to take photos and collect specimens for working up in the studio.
How to Make a Tonal Scale.
How to Make a Tonal Scale. A tonal scale is a really useful tool. It's simple to make and use and it's creation is a good visual exercise too. You can make it with any medium. Take a strip of white paper and divide it into five squares with no borders. Number the squares 1,2,3,4 and 5. Square number 1 stays paper white. Fill in square 5 with solid black - or as dark as you can achieve with your medium of choice. Using squares 1 and 5 for reference use your visual judgement to find the mid tone between the two and fill in square 3. Using squares 1 and 3 for reference fill in square 2 with the tone that falls exactly between them. Repeat the process using squares 3 and 5 to complete square 4. Use a hole punch to make a hole in each square.
