Video lesson #1

"Understanding Tone and Contrast"

This is the first lesson in our mini-training series, designed to guide you from feeling unsure about where to start with a blank sheet of paper to building the skills and confidence to express your vision. Just as the alphabet begins with letters, art starts with fundamental principles—the building blocks of a strong creative foundation. Tone and contrast are the cornerstones of this process, so let’s dive into the first lesson of the series!

This mini-training series features lessons from my Make Art With Confidence course, carefully curated to equip you with the tools to elevate your art.

 
This lesson is from Module 1 of the “Make Art With Confidence” course, which focuses on art fundamentals.
