In this tutorial we’ll use a plain white ball to explore tone, lighting, reflected light and cast shadows without the distraction of lots of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ll show you how changing the position of a light source alters the size and strength of the shadow, then we’ll mix a useful neutral grey from our three primary colours and use different strengths of that mixture to create convincing three-dimensional form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ll practise working with glazes, dropping colour into wet areas, softening edges and lifting light back out of the paper. You can work slowly in stages or have a little fun letting the colours move and mingle wet in wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is such a valuable exercise for developing observation. Once you begin to recognise the highlight, mid-tones, reflected light and darkest shadows on a simple sphere, you’ll find it much easier to see them in more complicated subjects too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Begin With Billy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56864274416002,"sku":"basic-exercises-exercises-in-tone-1-spheres","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4587\/4136\/files\/Exercises_in_Tone_1_Spheres_Thumb_c57b7602-3096-447d-b161-cd052891e093.jpg?v=1788467457","url":"https:\/\/billyshowell.com\/en-us\/products\/basic-exercises-exercises-in-tone-1-spheres","provider":"Billy Showell School of Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
