As we know many successful design can be achieved with only two values. Presented here is a portrait painted in 4 values of the color blue. Values are divided into light, medium, medium dark and dark. The hue I used for the portrait is premium blue. The 4 different values are 0.8white + 0.2 blue, 1.0blue, 0.5blue + 0.5black, 0.2blue + 0.8black. The original picture doesn’t have such clear value difference on the face, therefore it’s quite tough to divide the portrait into different parts with 4 values. But it’s also amazing to see that we can get quite effective result by painting in this way.
Materials: Gouche paint, water, brush, white paper, strathmore 400 drawing, color aid paper, etc
