Oil was Peggi's medium of choice with this first demo of her three demo series. Her lesson plan was about "limited value." She demonstrated how to create a three-value painting using the "one-third/two-thirds" rule. The first painting was 1/3 light and 2/3 shadow and the second painting was 1/3 shadow and 2/3 light. Peggi had an extra 7 minutes to kill so we suggested she try painting a high-key value (all value is the lighter range so that the darkest note is no darker than a mid-value, ie. #5 on a value scale). Her high key is the tiny sketch on the bottom of the panel shown above.
Peggi's live demos will be lesson-oriented. This was the first demo of her series called, "Tuesdays with Peggi" (with a plan of at least one Tuesday per month) where she'll provide lesson plans for each demo. Painting with oil, gouache, acrylics, and watercolors will be covered.
The LIVE demo recording was available to our participants to watch for a limited time. The viewing time has since expired. If you missed the LIVE demo, no worries--we'll have it available for purchase in our "Streaming Videos" section on our website soon.
