Color Spots of Value

This week both in individual coaching sessions and in the new Friday Morning beginners class we will be exploring color spots of value.
 
What I have learned so far :
Value swap outs are a great way to learn how to push color but then it is time to return to "local color" or the way objects really are in real life and still find the white through gray variations of value to turn the forms into three dimensions. It is all optical illusions. Smoke and mirrors.
