Value

This guide explores the concept of value in art, defined as the lightness and darkness of colors. Variations in value create focal points in paintings and enhance depth through gradation, giving a three-dimensional effect. The principles include tints (adding white), shades (adding black), and tones (adding gray). Value remains crucial, especially in black-and-white artworks, as exemplified by Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night Over the Rhone" and Johannes Vermeer's "The Girl with the Pearl Earring."
