This blog is meant mostly to showcase my polished work, but there are occasional times where I'll share some jewels of information that I pick up on my life long journey into this thing called art. :D
These are all the same scene with 3 main tones shifted about (foreground, midground and background) to give a different mood and highlight to each piece. They are all possible scenarios in reality depending on time of day and lighing.
The top row have the light value in the Background.
The middle row have the light value in the Foreground, with the dark value either in the mid (right image), or background (left image).
The last row has the light value in the mid ground highlighting the bridge element.

Great studies Carl !
As I see, you never stop studying!
Where do you want to go in art?
Are you still a student?
Great work!
Take care
Mike
Anth: Thanks mate, how's the swing set holding up?... any YOU build I'd be a little weary of. :P
Mike: I'll always be a student Mike. :P Apart from a few short online courses I'm mostly self taught, and there is always more.
I'll end up either in concept art, or illustration. Your caricatures are coming along just killer too!
Pfff! you're killing me with every new post! lol
These are amazinbg dude! )
Interesting stuff! So what do the different values mean? And hows that little red riding hood project coming eh!?
Thanks Francisco! You're always proping me up more than I deserve. :D
Kenzo mate! I realised I was stuck in a pattern of foreground things being darkest, and the bg fading off with atmospheric fog. Just a little excercise to break the habbit, that's all. Red is coming along, I'm stuck in environment studies at the moment.
looking good, I like the last one on the bottom right but i would add some light to push the background away.
It's funny, people all like different ones. Some people like isolating the bridge, others picture a foreground narrative, etc...
I'm not sure there is a "right one". They all tell a different story and set a different mood. That's what I like about doing something like this, it gives me options.
