Power of Value - Creating Movement in Your Artwork

White-Daisy-Black-Background_web.jpg

What is it about some artwork

that grabs your attention and draws you deeper into the details? And yet other artwork seems bland, your eye only staying on it for a brief moment before wandering off? (hint, it doesn’t matter whether it is saturated with vibrant color, or subtle and soft, or even black and white)

The answer, my friends, is in understanding the Power of Value.

Whether you are painting a picture, creating with beads, fiber or fabric, taking photos, flower arranging or decorating a room, by paying attention to Value, you have the ability to draw your viewers eye into your composition.
