 What is value
Value defines how light or dark a given color or hue can be.
Values are best understood when visualized as a scale or
gradient, from dark to light. The more tonal variants in an
image, the lower the contrast. When shades of similar value
are used together, they also create a low contrast image.
Value is how light or darkness of a color. For example: If you
took a black and white photograph of your painting, the
shades of grey would be the different values or tones within
the painting. Value is the lightness or darkness a color or
hue.
 Importance of Value

* It is widely considered to be one of the most important

variables to the success of a painting, even more so than your
selection of color (hue).

* Value in art should be simple to understand, however, the

inclusion of color can make it a challenging concept to grasp.
You could have two different colors which appear completely
different but have exactly the same value. There would be
little contrast between these colors despite the different
hues.
 TYPES OF VALUE

There are also several variations of value in art, referred to

as high-key, low-key, and mid-range. Value adds effects like
highlights and shadows, which create emphasis, perspective,
depth, contrast, and so much more to a visual composition –
giving it life.
 Value becomes an important element in art, adding a
different kind of value to any type of artwork. It creates
various effects like highlights and shading, which provide
more depth and three-dimensionality to artworks like
paintings or drawings.
 1. Hatching
Hatching (French: hachure) is an artistic technique used
to create tonal or shading effects by drawing (or
painting or scribing) closely spaced parallel lines. (It is
also used in monochromatic representations of heraldry
to indicate what the tincture of a "full-colour" emblazon
would be.)

2. Cross hatching

Veronica Hatching is an artistic technique used to create

tonal or shading effects by drawing closely spaced parallel
lines. When lines are placed at an angle to one another, it is
called cross-hatching.

3. Stippling (pointillism)

Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying

degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots. Such a
pattern may occur in nature and these effects are
frequently emulated by artists.

4. Blending

Blending is a term used often in art, particularly in painting

and drawing. It is the technique of gently intermingling two
or more colors or values to create a gradual transition or to
soften lines. As an artist, it's important to practice blending
in any medium you choose to work with.
